I searched this on here and couldnt really find one that suits. anyway i need to take both my doors off to replace the skins.

They are the internal hinge type.

How do i go about taking the pins out??

Any help is great thanks.

Sorry if this is in the wrong topic area.

dont remove the pins

get your head into the wheel arch and find the 4 nuts that hold the door hinges on

ok thanks is it missions to remove them then? or hard putting them back.

Yes, lots of cleaning needed first as the nuts will be deep in the filth and probably well rusted up too. Clean it out first and spray it with release oil daily for a week first. When removing the door remember the check strap, and doors are heavy so have an axle stand under it while removing it.

Yeah its very true about cleaning the bolts off, i found a socket and extension still on the bolt with about a inch thick of dried mud holding it on, last time i worked on a mini.
