Default Removing first gen door, completely

I need to remove the door on the jimmy completely (drivers front) I have done pins and bushings before, but I realized the hinges on the door side are not squared. So I need to remove the door and square them up.

Now that brings me to the question, how hard is it to remove the door completely, unhooking the harnesses inside the door ect? (power locks, windows, mirror)

most cars you have to take the door panel off and disconnect everything and just pull it out of the little hole where all the wires go into. some of your lucky theres just a big plug up on the kick panel of your truck. on all the 80s trucks i messed with i had to pull all the wiring out of the door
