4kq door removal

[Brady Moffatt]

Hi All,

Just spent a couple of hours fighting with various 3/8" drive sockets, woble
extensions, u-joints, box and open keys, and got a grand total of one hinge
bolt loose on the driver's door. What gives? Audi has made it impossible to
remove the door. There's the welded-in window channel and the door beam to
protect the bolts from ever being accessed.

I bought a parts car in the same colour so I could swap whole doors, hood,
and left front fender, but the doors look like a real pain.

Has anyone done this before? Bentley is not helpful.

Cheers,
Brady Moffatt
