Front doors, you'll need to go to the dealer and get new bushings and most likey new pins and retainer. You'll need a jack as well as GM spring too.

I'm going to get my spring tool from Harbor freight. The jack he wants me to use is a scissor type jack. That way you can finely adjust the door up and down.

I haven't done it, but that's what my friend who use to manage a body shop told me to get so that we can replace them on my doors.

As far as the back door goes, I'd like to know that one too.

i never used a jack when i did mine, but then again i had 3 ppl. yes a spring compressor Will be needed. pins and bushings and clips is all you need. i think pins were 8 bucks, clips were 75 cents, bushings were a couple bucks. cant help ya with the back doors, i have a hatch glass on mine : )

the old hammer and a screw driver then a 3/8 extension. i used the extension like a chisel sort of, like i put the female end of it onto the pin so it wouldnt slide off.. get it???

how exactly do you remove the rear barn door doors? i need to replace the thing that holds it open because it broke. the door just flaps around and pisses me off because i have to hold the door. anyone know how and where to get the replacement part?
