Default How to remove door?

What do I need to know to remove the drivers side door of my 350?

I tried searching on here, but all of my searches ended up being door panels, door handles, etc.. I'm wanting to remove the whole door.

What I'm looking for is what electrical needs to be unhooked and how do I do it? Can the mirror be easily taken off as well? Hidden bolts that aren't easily noticeable?

Thanks in advance

to remove your actual door?
pull fender off.
Drop the window an inch.
Disconnect battery.
pull door panel.
pull door jamb stopped arm, remove thru speaker hole in door.
unclip the door jamb wire harness from the outside of the car.
remove 4 bolts on hinges exposed by removing the fender.
Done.

np. the first side will take you 2 hours, the second side ( after youve learned) will take you 20 minutes.

The door is majorly heavy. have a helper that isnt your wife, you will have a VERY hard time removing it yourself w out dropping and totally ruining it.
