When Took my doors off my buddy had a excellent idea for making the dreaded hinge alignment simple simple simple.

Before he took off his doors he took a spray paint can and shot a little paint around the hinge and let it dry.
So the you just put hinge back inside painted area and they line up perfect first try

I didn't have to remove a single torx bolt from my hinges. Dremel the bottom of the hinge off with the door still attached fully, knock the bottom off once it's cut, lift door off. Simple.
