A friend came by and held the door up as I tried to coax the hinge through each grommet, we gave up after about 10 minutes. He suggested removing the hinge pin. I think that might be the way for me to get this done. If I split the hinges, I could mount the halves to the doors on the bench. I'd like to avoid modifying the grommets. Now I wonder how to remove the hinge pins, and can they be re-installed on-vehicle? Still open to suggestions, Thanks.
