Usually there's a pin driven through the hinge with a circlip round the bottom. One end should be flared to stop it going all the way through, so you should be able to determine which direction to hit it in. Remove circlip, screwdriver, hammer, drift it out. Not done one on a Micra before though, so possibly they have a different set-up

the best way to remove a micra door is to open it just before a truck goes past. ;D it will be like BB says, or you could be lucky and the hinge might bolt on?

Yep as above, the hinge should be bolt on either at the door end or on the A pillar, a lot of them are. If its a case of removing the pin, its a bit of a PITA but not too bad. Take some WD40 and a selection of drifts/old screwdrivers to the breakers HOT TIP!- Its really obvious, but I always find myself doing it: remember to disconect any electrics that go to the door before taking off, aswell as the safety catch. I always found myself holding a door that was still attatched by the central locking/electric windows wiring! But that may be just a 'me' thing!

I'm hoping the new door will have central locking allready so o don't have to remove mine from my current door, altho the interior trim is different too... just had a poke about mine and look: (excuse the muck, aint cleaned it in a month!!!) bolts!!!! so whats this clip thingy? and how dose it work??
