I ASSUME that you are not going to paint the hinges first.
You are aware that the shims and hinges is sealed in with a sealer upon installation so water does not migrate into your hinge post. So...you might need to get some sealant.
How skilled are you??? The reason I ask...so I do not get my head bit off...I need to know how to respond. So I do not get asked what a 'ratchet' is???
IS you car have ANY power going into the door for windows/alarm system etc???

Now you need to remove the moderate black steel plate that is screwed to the door...in the middle....at the bottom.
Then...take the two screws out of the SMALL black steel plate that is covering the UPPER hinge bolts for the DOOR.
