I have a 41 AK that needs the driver door adjusted horizontally. I have read previous post suggesting using a 2X4 and that makes sense. My question is how much force is within reason? That is - a hundred pounds or can I lift the truck? Before I get a lot of questions and comments regarding condition ect... All I am looking for is someones experience assuming the hinges are in reasonable shape and the door is sound.

I sent you my PDF on adjusting your doors. Hope it helps. As for the amount of force it takes to adjust the doors takes more than you might think. Don't go overboard but a firm push then test the fit is the way I did it. A little at a time is the way to go.
