go to the bone yard and buy the side that you need have new bearings pressed into it and then slowly disassemble the hub and replace with newly refurbished hub. be sure to mark your seams and threads with some spray paint so that you know where the original settings were at. had to do mine twice because I didn't press new bearings into the knuckle i bought at the bone yard.

ADJUSTMENTSee Figure 4 The holes for the hinges are oversized to provide for latitude in alignment. Align the door hinges first, then the striker.
C/K series utilize hinges that are welded to the door and frame. No adjustment is possible except when replacement hinges have been installed.



Fig. 4: Door adjustment check points

1. If a door is being installed, first mount the door and tighten the hinge bolts lightly.
   

If the door has not been removed, determine which hinge bolts must be loosed to effect alignment.

1. Loosen the necessary bolts just enough to allow the door to be moved with a padded prybar.
2. Move the door in small movements and check the fit after each movement.
   

Be sure that there is no binding or interference with adjacent panels.

1. Repeat this procedure until the door is properly aligned.

R/V Series:
Door edge-to-rocker panel: 6mm Door edge-to-roof panel: 5mm Door edge-to-rear pillar: 5mm Door edge-to-front pillar: 2mm
C/K Series:
Door edge-to-rocker panel: 6mm Door edge-to-roof panel: 6mm Door edge-to-rear pillar: 4mm Door edge-to-front pillar: 7mm Door front edge-to-fender: 5mm

1. Tighten all the bolts to 26 ft. lbs. (35 Nm).

Shims may be either fabricated or purchased to install behind the hinges as an aid in alignment.

Hope this help, TY for using Fixya (remember comment and rated this). Good luck.

While all those parts are available, if there is really that much damage i'd say you may be better off looking for a new car. The doors and front fender bolt on, but the rear quarter panel is spot welded in MANY spots requiring a lot of work to properly replace. You will probably find the best overall deals at the local bone yards. You may be tempted to buy parts online but keep in mind shipping those heavy parts can cost as much as the part. You can use a site such as copartfinder.com to locate a junkyard near by that has the parts you need.

Should have kept going-it's just screws or bolts, but some are almost hidden-like front of fender and rear along door opening. Take off fender lining and look some more.
I sort of know what you mean-can be hard to get to the door hinges. have you tried like a universal joint in your ratchet and socket?

its your door stop,id do the junk yard thing first,try to get one new you get new pins and thats good.or myself,if your hady with tools you can use the passengers side to copy one cut it out drill it and pin it.
