use a die grinder and grind off the top of the rivit heads and I remove inner wheel housing plastic panel and access them that way.....but you can access them by opening the door too and then use a punch to drive pin out....I like the methood I mentioned cause I can unbolt hinge, install new bushings and pin and all while the door is shut maintaining proper alignment and I do one hinge at a time... when all is said and done door opens and closes like new
