I usually improvise when it come to doing this... But it almost always ends up with one hand at the bottom and the other one on the window frame. Pretty easy but Id say that an average woman cant take the front doors off.

Cant imagine the power doors being more than 60 pounds each, I've never actually weighed one but it feels like a more awkwardly shaped 60-65 pound dumbbell when its in my hands.

When reinstalling the doors, do you rub any grease on the hinges so they are easier to pull out next time?

I added a little white lithium grease to mine.
