Needless to say... What is the difficulty rating for changing the door. Looks like I just have to remove the front quarter, remove the door hinges and reinstall the new door. Any other info would be great.   Rian Rhodes (Rockyrhodes) New Member Username: Rockyrhodes Post Number: 6 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Monday, October 13, 2003 - 07:39 pm:    Forgot, 98 Disco   Axel Haakonsen (Axel) Moderator Username: Axel Post Number: 432 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Tuesday, October 14, 2003 - 12:56 am:    From the workshop manual: 1. Detach the door seal at the lower section of the A pillar 2. Carefully remove the two retaining buttons from the trim panel on the side of the footwell and ease out the panel. 3. Disconnect the three multiplugs connecting the door harness and speaker leads. 4. Detach the convoluted grommet from the A pillar and withdraw the door harness and speaker leads. 5. Set the door in the open position without engaging the check stay; then remove the roll pin securing the check stay at the A pillar. 6. Warning, this step MUST BE carried out with assistance! Remove the door hinge c-clips from the hinge posts and with assistance carefully lift the door from the vehicle. Reverse the steps to mount new door. - Axel   Rian Rhodes (Rockyrhodes) New Member Username: Rockyrhodes Post Number: 7 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Tuesday, October 14, 2003 - 03:30 pm:    Got it.
