How do you remove the crash bars on late doors? Options

[dan10101]

Yes, I have a cage and I will have door bars.

So I looked and looked, but can't find a write up on how to remove the factory crash bars on late doors? I have 1/2 of it out, but the door latch side is a puzzlement. So far I've cut them in half and was able to cut out the front hinge side.

Can someone help?

I'm confused, but whats new!! I mean... you're cutting bars out of these doors to put into your existing doors? As-in "I WILL have door bars if it's the last thing I do!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)
.."Or, these are your existing doors and you're cutting the stock bars out (to save weight) because your roll cage has door bars already? Sorry I'm no help. I would have cut the sections out of the each outside end and pulled it out as a whole unit, probably.

EDIT: ok we must have been typing at the same time. I see now, you're saving weight. Good job!

Yes, it's replacing one door bar with another. Hopefully saving weight with all this work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). I'm hoping a tube will weigh less than 14#s. Actually, I'm hoping to save 25# per door. We'll see.
