OK I know it's been asked before but I really do believe I've exhausted all the tips I can dig up on trusty Google.

Drivers door will not budge. PB blasted the hinges for an over night soak. Wiggled about as much as I can (2 hours today, plus a couple ours Friday evening), also tried the jack under the door with some blocks of wood and I also tried the ratchet strap under the door to a solid point above (rafter) all while shaking the door. Darn thing won't budge.

Also when moving the door the top hinge pin visibly rotates as it should. The bottom hinge the pin is not moving. Stuck and the hinge looks to be rotating around the pin.

Does anyone else have any ideas or tips?

Spray the hell out of if with WD-40 or some sort of silicone lubricant.

I've used PB blaster and WD40 over the 2 days I've been trying now.

Remove door with hinges from jeep, or remove door from hinges and work on them individually. They may be misaligned also.

Sounds dumb but I have to ask because I've seen it before.. You removed the bolts under the hinges right?

How far open do you have the door. Should be open at least 45 degree angle, any more or less can make it hard to take off.. Mine got stuck one time and I just place a jack with a block of wood under the door. I jacked it up an inch or so and I had my kid lightly jump up and down on the door opening while i held the door.. Place some towels on the top of the bottom door hinge since the door will spring up fast, hold on to the door tight.. Once you get them off, make sure to coat the hinge pins with marine grease so you can make the next removal easier. Augi

^^^what I was about to say. Before you take the jack to it.

I actually cleaned up the hinge holes with a drill afterwards.

Yep bolts are out from under the hinges, not a stupid question as I bet people have done it!

I have tried in just about every position with no travel at all. I've tried the jack, I jumped on the frame 250lbs, no go! I really am at a loss now.
