Default Removing Passenger door HELP!

Ok so I'm in the process of removing the front driver and passenger doors. On the bottom bracket I cut the bottom part and since the pin is in the other direction it's making it A LOT more difficult to remove. I've been hammering for hours. Does anybody have a maybe more efficient way to get it off. The pin is just not budging at all. Thanks for any help!

I'm not sure what you mean by cut the bottom part. To remove cherokee doors, cut the door pins right in the middle with a dremel or cutoff tool if you can find a small enough disk. If the pins are factory, try to remove the plastic surrounding the pin first to make it quicker. After cutting through the middle, you have to pound the top part of the pin up and out and bottom part of the pin down and out. That's the only way factory pins will come out. Hope this helps.

Did you unbolt the hinge from the door first?

I followed the guy that did this write up. He cut the bottom part of the bracket that's on the door. And then hit it off. But on the passenger side it's reversed. But I can't get the pin out.

I have a 94. Ours is a pain. But I finally got it!! After breaking a friends dremel and having to go buy a new one I finally got the front 2 off. That's all I need at the moment. It's been a long day. Thanks for the help though everybody.
