Up until now this has all been a mental process, no physical damage can be d=
one by it.=20
Not to be a wet blanket, but we can not help you be safe by explaining which=
bolts to loosen, that could be a real safety problem for you.=20
You need to find the installation manual for the door at a minimum. Or bette=
r yet, find someone who has done this work before to do it for you or show y=
ou how. Personally, I=E2=80=99d rather you be out a few $$ to have someone d=
o it rather than many $$ for medical bills.=20
