door rehanging

[johns3]

hi everyone,

Thinking about rehanging my drivers side door on my S3C as it doesnt close flush. Im looking to access the hinge through the door card. First question is...Is this the way to do it? second question is, can anyone tell me how to remove the door card without breaking the various fittings? I had a brief go but i found myself forcing things more than i would like to. If someone could tell me what has to be removed that would be great!

got the trim off after dropping the 7mm spanner in the door, took me ages to retrieve it. Anyone know how to actually adjust the doors hang. I need to raise it a couple of mm. I can see a bolt on the top of the inner door and a nut on the bottom of the inner door. Do i just slacken the bottom by a gnats cock and tighten the top or have i got the method all wrong. Is there a hinge or something im missing?

Just started doing the door today. When I removed the one nut and 4 screws from the frame it would not lift out. There appears to be another nut low down near the bottom of the door holding it on. cant seem to undo it. Does this hae to be removed?
