What are the easy way to take off the door hinge screw? The screw is all mess up. :furious:



I would not remove the doors until the new channels have been installed.

Drill the head off and then once the door is off use locking pliers to remove the rest. If it were me I would make sure the gaps are perfect and then weld the doors so they don't move, then replace the heater channels. If the pins are the least bit worn I would replace them before replacing the channels.

Great work day! Nice score on the replacement body. Gotta say those Gearson Heater channels are worth every penny!
