    There are two pop rivets that hold the door hinge to the body of the car. You have to drill them out, then proceed. I cant remember, but there might also be some misc screws holding the plastic trim around the fill neck that have to come out first before the door can come out. It might have to go in that order.

    Yup, drill the rivets. It has to come out of the wheelwell. Not much fun but possible. Also check the pivot posts while its out, very common for them to break.
