Sorry if its a dumb question or if its been asked before.

I just picked up a 94 dakota for real cheap. The kid backed into something and broke the hinges on the passenger door.

Currently the door is jammed and locked into place.

Since the hinges are welded on to the door, but bolted to the truck, Im thinking it might be easiest to find another door with hood hinges, and bolt it on.

Now heres my main question. Is there any tricks to taking a door on/off a 94 dakota? Any special tools required?

I have been searching for days but havent been able to find any info on this.

Im wondering, where the hinges are bolted to the truck, is there a nut on the other side of those bolts somewhere that I will need to know about?

I just dont want to get all gung ho and remove the door and then be screwed with a truck with 1 door.

Any advice, or if you could point me in the right direction on where to get this info it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!!

 

The door is held on by 2 pins. Hit the pins with hammer and the pop off. Off comes the door. You buy a new one, replace the pin bushings(cheap, might as well), make sure the body side hinge isnt bent, and hang your new door. Done.

 

As far as I know it is just simple bolts. You can take out the pins on the hinges. But just unbolt it and you done. If you want to double check go to the junkyard and remove that door first. Then you can remove yours when you know what to expect.

 

Awesome! thanks for the tips guys. Yeah thats a good call on removing the spare door to get an idea of what I will need first.
