I’ve got a 2012 Jeep Wrangler 2-dr, and I don’t think the doors have ever been off. Using a floor jack, a 4x4, and some WD-40, and after a few minutes the doors were able to be lifted off their hinges. Now that the hinge is lubricated with graphite, I am not anticipating any additional difficulties removing the doors. Thanks for your video. It offers another option to remove the doors of a Jeep.
I had a tough time getting my doors off but when i finally did i put new hinge bushings in then i had a time getting the door back on bc of hoe tight the bushings are. Haven't taken them off since 😢
@@motorcarnut I learned the hard way prior to checking youtube, the jack worked like a charm on 3 of 4 of my doors would not recommend though in the grand scheme
It works great if you are careful about it and don’t use much pressure. Not really much more pressure than it takes to lift the side of the Jeep by hand. I did that several times and released it, and it started lifting up. You just can’t be a gorilla about it that’s all.
Here it’s for 2 door but search the site if you have 4 door. These are the ones I used but there are others out there a lot cheaper. www.extremeterrain.com/tmr-customs-jeep-wrangler-delrin-door-hinge-liners-removal-tool-1003.html?XTAccessories/Misc-Tools%7CTMRCustoms&T5_Var4=J182766&intl=0&XTW+Wrangler+Vehicle+Medium+LTVTop&dialogtech=ppc&T5_Var2=shopping&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADdHURR7Uu4dm6AMVq8a7tKrW-1oI&gclid=Cj0KCQjwlIG2BhC4ARIsADBgpVSxYO72mrYJq19Q9LUHnH79sDR0bz13_cv3Qwz_KTo0kLCpBrmrt20aApPUEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
You can do that too if they are badly rusted. But you are going to break the painted surface of the bolts. Some people don’t like that. But a little touch up paint can fix that.
Just some patience and elbow grease! And WD-40 and more patience and a friend and don't use a jack and wiggle and more lube and tappitty tap now we're here. 😊..😮😶😠 THEY STILL WONT FRIGGIN COME OFF!!!

No problem, I got another video on installing plastic sleeves so you never have to worry about corrosion.
Thanks for linking up that hinge liner video in you description
No problem!!
Worked!!! Took an hour, but WORKED!! Thanks!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You're welcome! Glad it helped!

I have a video on installing good quality du pont bushings that work great
Just used your technique today and it worked! Thank you!
Glad it helped! Thanks for the feedback! Appreciated!
A jack and a 2x4 as close to the hinge as you can get and go slow… works every time
Well not if they are corroded and you will end up damaging the door. For your vehicle it may work but I don't recommend it.

Hello. Can you provide a link to the DuPont liners you recommend?
Here it’s for 2 door but search the site if you have 4 door. These are the ones I used but there are others out there a lot cheaper.

Does that sound like a good idea.
Absolutely, it works.
I meant the 2 bolts on interior per hinge not outside painted surface?
Yes they are painted as well but then you have to make sure you install them in the exact position or the door may be off a little
Worked great thx!!
No problem, thanks for the feedback!
Wish i read more comments and saw this video too. I bent the bottom of one door recently. I definitely feel stupid.
Uh man, sorry to hear that
Did not work for me. They are on there
Wow must of never been taken off. Try soaking the door hinges with penetrating oil over night
Same, didn't work for me either
@jonrichardson6028 if your doors were properly maintained should work or you may not have the experience to get them off
Thanks!
No problem!
Good video
Thank you for the comment
What about unbolting hinge from inside jeep?
You can do that too if they are badly rusted. But you are going to break the painted surface of the bolts. Some people don’t like that. But a little touch up paint can fix that.
Just some patience and elbow grease!
And WD-40 and more patience and a friend and don't use a jack and wiggle and more lube and tappitty tap now we're here. 😊..😮😶😠 THEY STILL WONT FRIGGIN COME OFF!!!
Get some PB Blaster and shoot it into the hinges and let it sit overnight then try my technique again
