Bottom hinge on one of the doors on my 8030 broke so had to pull the door off to fix. Got it off but it was a struggle so looking for tips/techniques for the re-install before I tackle it.

ii worked on a large CASE last month..Backed the pickup truck up to the cab/ rear wheel so i could stand in the bed and lift the door up... for more stability.

When taking it off it didn't seem to have enough clearance on the bottom unless i tipped it toward the front of the tractor and then rotated the front bottom counterclockwise - but then the top corner hit the roof. If it matters this is the passenger side door. Will the top pin go into the top hinge hole with the door "flat"against the cab?

Also - does the bottom hinge rotate on a bushing of some kind - or just a flat washer?

Of course you have to unhook the cylinder that holds the door open

My 8070 is broke, haven’t gotten to the point of taking it off yet, wondered how to take it off myself. Mine is crocked on the door frame
