Tried searching topics...
preping cab for sand blasting, removed all the bolts. Bottom hinges pull right out from cab. Upper hinges catch on the lip around the opening. Is there a certain way to twist the hinge? does it need to be open or closed? whats the trick?

Thanks,
Tom

OK got them out, Just had to take a little break.

found that you need to open the hinge to clear the spring. pull out till it hits the lip on the outside edge. then close hinge and tap lightly with the palm of your hand it it will slowly come out

Now that you have them out prior to paint open them up a little bit with a roto-file you won't scratch anything and generally make life easier with the install.
