Default Drivers side lower door hinge bushing

Has anyone changed the lower drivers side lower door hinge / bushing/ pin by removing the battery side fender/cover?
My drivers side door sags a little.
I have to put a little oomph to get the door to close correctly and make the interior lights go out.
Please let me know if you were able to tackle this yourself or take it to a body shop.
Thanks.

it’s not that hard. Support the door and rebuild them on a bench. I used Dorman 703-263 hinges. Both took me an afternoon to do including painting, various breaks to pet the cat and so on.

He's right; it's not hard. We change these bushings at work ALL the time! At least one per month. Not hard at all. 1 hour job, if you keep moving.
