Can't get my door off!

[cliokiz]

I tried to get my drivers door off today as i have a new one to replace it with, but i couldn't get the f**ker off!

I got the bottom torx screw out ok, but the one at the top was extremely tight due to rust, so much so that it's now rounded off and i can't get it out.

Have tried allsorts but it just won't budge!

Any suggestions on how to get it out?

weld a nut to it.

I don't have any welding equipment

Tried wacking a socket over it.. the socket just slips, cant get anything to grip it tight enough to make it move!

Thinking drastic action.. gonna have to saw through the bolt (and the door) i think. The door is shagged anyway.

Are there any tools on a dremel that i might be able to use to get it off? Might buy one if they're useful for this situation.. lol

Welding is not an option unfortunately!

Angle grinder?

chop the door off then drill out the pin

Desperate times called for desperate measures, lol

Ended up sawing the corner of the door off in the end, then i sawed the hinge off the door, then i managed to unscrew the torx bolt holding it in. Typical!

Oh well, new door can go on as soon as i get some new pins!

Cheers all!
