Hi,
I am trying to remove a door but can't seem to disconnect the main electrical connector running to the front wing or remove the door pin - can anyone offer any advice?
Thanks,
Cava.

Pull back the rubber snake from the pillar and press the 2 white tabs together and pull.
Might be a bit tight but it will go!

Door pins are just two 6mm bolts. Door will stay in place when you've reoved them, then just lift off.
When you put the door plug back, make sure the rubber cover is in place properly before pushing it back in the socket, and give all the pins a good dose of silicon grease.

Thanks Brian. On the door pin issue, sorry my description was a bit vague - The door has two main door hinges (which have two bolts each), the door plug and also a smaller hinged arm - this is the one I am struggling with.

You mean the arm that keeps the door open?Cava wrote:Thanks Brian. On the door pin issue, sorry my description was a bit vague - The door has two main door hinges (which have two bolts each), the door plug and also a smaller hinged arm - this is the one I am struggling with.
Pull off the little clip and tap the pin out with a hammer and punch.

The pin has a serated shaft, Hit it, and then hit it harder.
