They're held on by the roll pin hinge. You need to pull each pin out, top pin down & bottom pin up with a suitable pin remover. I've never done the electrics bit would would assume that the plugs will be the same throughout.

And the door stay needs unbolting, assuming it's not already been pulled through.  :y

Exactly as Andy says, but I use a small pair of mole grips to grip onto the role peg then gently Smash the mole grips ;D
Both pegs knockout towards each other, the top one down, the bottom one up :y

This is what I made to remove a couple of pins.
