To take the front doors off or just to re-align them your gonna have to take off the front fenders. The rear door bolts are exposed when opening the front doors.

If you have the plastic inner fender wells out you can get to the bolts without taking off the fender that's how I did it

Wrong.

I just pulled my doors off, never touched the fender at all.

a sawzall and a little dynamite will take the doors off real good. Putting them back on might take a little more effort though, LOL

My fingers are insanely strong. Ask my wife how many times I've ...Uh...nevermind.

But seriously, I used a rachet to break all 6 torx bolts loose in the door, then used a wrench to grab the torx bit like it was a bolt and turned away.

The couple that we're stripped got the angle grinder.

I would suggest not using the torx bolts when reassembling. Make it easy and use normal bolts that standard sockets and wrenches can pull off. Then bolt the single inner bolts on, and work your way outward to the other two. A ratcheting wrench at that point will be an awesome tool to have.

Not on mine. The skin of the door got in the way, was blocking the upward travel of the pin.
