It's doable with one if you've had practice. Otherwise, definitely a two man job.

Got plenty of wooden blocks and axle stands , maybe even support it with the jack . Knowing my luck it will fall off the supports  ;D

Open window, close rear door, open front door, remove hinge pins, open rear door and lift away...

Refitting is reverse of removal...

Bish bash bosh :y

I find a 25 litre drum supports the door just about the right height. Or possibly a 20 lt trade club oil drum. :y

It's very easy to scratch paint with the hinges while lining the door up btw. Steady as she goes. :y
