Hinge pin and door removal

[PVEtj]

I’m trying to get the doors off my 2006 TJ. The PO installed these weird nuts on teh bottom that are recessed into the hinge. Looks like I need a special tool, but have no idea what that is!

Any help is appreciated!

Does not look to have anything preventing the door from lifting off, Might want to look at this thread to see if its just stuck in the bushings.

Thanks all....it was just a bushing that needed some elbow grease. Doors are now off!

That is a gorgeous TJ- wow!

I replaced my hinge sleeves today. What a pain in the A** omg. Had to take off one hinge to remove the old sleeve. I got very lucky and was able to remove it without blowing out / stripping the hex bolt. Luck + patience, I guess:

That's a torx bit. Hex would be a fucking nightmare when those bolts seize up.

Man, Im slipping the older I get- you're correct, my mixup. That would be a nightmare. Bad enough clenching your cheeks in the hopes you don't strip a torx bit. Which is how I feel every time I need to removed one of these.

My TJ came with wheel adapter held together with red loctite and 6 8mm hex bolts. I don't think I will ever buy something with adapters on it ever again.

Holy hell that's hiccup alright. Guess you got the rear one's off w less hassle. Shame you had to replace the bearing hubs but least you start with a clean slate there.
