I've helped a buddy do his last weekend and remembered a thread on here saying that you should take a razor blade and ''cut'' the paint where the hinge meets the door.

The reason for this is that JK's are painted assembled and if you don't ''cut'' the paint, It might chip or just pull off some paint from your door when removing the hinge.

Definitely true! Very good advise. Breaking that paint seal is part of the reason I'm getting some rusting issues I think.
