Front Door Hinge Replacement...

['98 GS TD]

Hi,

anyone replaced the front door hinges on an early Avensis...just need to know if there is a block connector for the bunch of wires going to the door & where the connector is - in the door or the door pillar

also is there an easy way of getting access to the hinge bolts or does the front wing need to come off...

thanks

Mark

there are two block connectors IIRC just above the side kick panels (passenger one is behind the glove box)

best way is disconnect these and then support the door on a padded trolley jack and undo the four bolts that hold the door to the hinge. you should then be able to change the hinge easily. refitting is reverse of removal as they say :)

Terrific! Thanks for those details
