You can release the hinges from the cab, or door only, which will help some.

this guy jinxed me and i broke my indestructable 1/8"drill bit

lucky me I had another

it seemed that as soon as the bit entered the inner plate it caught on the inner cage and SNAP. I was pushing pretty good and wasnt ready for it to break through too ease up
I tried too drill the striker plate for the same reason and it laughed at my bit

will try again later
I will do the same too the door part of the hinge after I do my rockers and corners that way that part will still be lined up correctly.and also when I'm done with the body I'll blow the hinges apart just for a good cleaning after all that it should be a snap too realign the doors
anyway here's a pic of How i did it for those who wanna know nothing special just some alignment holes that I can use a nail or something for reassembley
