I take it theres nothing special to worry about, I see some 13mm hinge bolts top and bottom, the 10mm for the check strap and a case of just feeding the wires back through?

Cheers!
no need to touch the hinge bolts just take off the circlips on top off the pins. undo the check strap it helps if you have window open so you have someware to get hold of it.then lift the door up.the wiring plug can only be got at after the doors has been lifted away a bit.so it helps to have two pairs of hands.rest the door on a spare wheel while you helper unplugs it.some thin foam can help prevent damage to you new door .when putting it back on there is not much room between the door and the wing.you need it close to connect the wiring back up,apart from that quite straight forward
