Note: The doors are very heavy and difficult to install, so we recommend two people to do this job.
Warning. When working inside doors, wear gloves to avoid scratching your hands on the sharp edges of the door panels.
Removal and installation
1. Lower the window completely, then disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal.
2. Open the door all the way and place a wooden block of suitable height or a hydraulic jack under it. Cover the jack (or a block) with a rag so as not to damage the door from below.
3. Remove the door trim and protective covering (see paragraph 15).
4. Disconnect all electrical wiring connectors, ground wires, and clamps securing the electrical wiring to the door.
Note: We recommend labeling the wiring connectors to facilitate subsequent assembly.
5. Disconnect the rubber tube from the door that connects the door and the body. Remove the electrical wiring from the door hole.
6. Remove the door stop pin by pushing it upwards (figure 16.6).
7. Mark the position of the loops with a marker or scriber (to facilitate door adjustment after installation).
8. Ask an assistant to support the door and unscrew the bolts securing the hinges to the door (figure 16.8). Remove the door. Note: Before removing the door, mark the position of the hinges.
9. The door installation is carried out in sequence. reverse of removal.
Adjustment
10. Correct adjustment of the door is necessary for the operation of all its components. Inspect the hinge pins and ensure that they do not have excessive play. Open the door fully and swing it up and down (did not rock the car). The door play in the vertical direction should not exceed 1.5 mm (otherwise the hinges must be replaced).

11. The position of the door relative to the body is adjusted by moving the hinges relative to the body or the door. To do this, it is necessary to loosen the tightening of the corresponding bolts. The door must be adjusted so that its top end is parallel to the roof. The front doors should be parallel to the fenders. The rear doors should be parallel to the rear fenders, and the lower edges of the doors should be parallel to the sills. If the door cannot be adjusted by moving the hinges, place shims of the required thickness under the hinges.
12. To adjust the door in the closed position, mark the position of the latch, then make sure the door lock contacts the center of the latch. If necessary, move the latch in the desired direction.
13. Adjust the position of the door latch horizontally. In this case, the front door should be parallel to the central pillar, and the rear door to the rear wing. Adjustment is made by moving the door lock (figure 16.13).
