2001 door removal
I know, I need to buy a factory service manual. Usually I borrow one from a friend but he went away for the week.
What is the best procedure for removing the passenger door from a 2001 Corvette?
Thanks,
Bill

Is it better to disconnect the bolts on the hinge that attaches to the door or the bolts on the hinge section on the car itself?
