4kq door removal

[Brady Moffatt]

Thanks Greg (and Kneale),

I had only one wobble extension (about 6"), and tried u-joints and regular
extensions with it. Didn't work. What I hadn't done, though, was remove the
door catch. It's broken on the parts car, so I didn't think of it, since
it's not holding the door, but the guts are still taking up space. Tomorrow,
it's off to buy another wobble extension (16$CDN I think), and I should have
success!

Any hints for the back door?

Cheers,
Brady
