<VV> [FC] Van door removal

[Michael Kovacs]

I use two roll pins in the 1/8 inch holes. This virtually guarentees that the door will be put back on the way it came off. I leave the pins in for the next guy!!

I saw a tip about drilling a 1/8" hole through the hinge and the body - 
then when you go to reinstall the hinge, put a drill bit through the 
hole and the hinge will be in the same place...

Only things you need (and can) to adjust are heigth and aligning to external body lines. No big deal if you have somebody to help. BTW, grommets will be difficult to install with hinges in place.
