Do the new doors come with hinges attached ??

If so easiest way is undo the 4 nuts up behind the A panel.
Don't forget to remove the checkstrap pin first ( the bit that stops the door swinging to far.)

Save any shims that were behind the hinges, you may need them to space out/ align the replacement doors.

Pretty much all you need for this is a 7/16" af socket, couple of long extension bars and a ratchet....pair of pliers.

cheers,it has hinges on still,am i better of putting the glass and reg in before fitting so the weight is in it? so could i do this in an hour or so then?

I'd fit the glass after, will just make handling the door easier.

Word of warning though the nuts get covered in lots of ******* up behind the A panel so could be pretty seized or even snap, worthwhile getting new nuts for the new doors.
Put plenty of copper grease on the new ones when fitting.
