The first step for front door hinge replacement involves using masking tape on the fender and door edges to prevent paint damage. Start by opening the door while supporting it and clean the hinge area before marking its position with a grease pencil. Begin by removing upper hinge bolts according to sequence 1-4 from the door side and proceed with removing upper hinge bolts from the hinge pillar side according to sequence 1-4-5 if the upper hinge is damaged. Start by removing the lower hinge bolts from the door side following a specific order (3 then 2) before continuing to remove these bolts from the hinge pillar side while following (3 then 2) order. Before adding the new hinge you must position it properly along the marks that exist on the door and hinge pillar. Insert the lower hinge bolts onto the hinge pillar side according to sequence (3, 2) before tightening them to 33 N.m (24 lb ft). Follow sequence (3, 2) to install the lower hinge bolts on the door side before tightening them to 33 N.m (24 lb ft). Begin by installing lower hinge bolts to the hinge pillar side using sequence (1, 4, 5) before tightening them to 33 N.m (24 lb ft). The remaining upper hinge bolts to the door side should be installed using sequence (1, 4) and then tightened to 33 N.m (24 lb ft). Check the door after removing its support while examining its functionality and removing the masking tape.
