I have a slight drop on my front passenger door and looking at it i need to slacken the bottom hinge bolt and move it a tad and retighten but im stumped on how to undo the bolt. I dont think a spanner will do it as it sits in a really awkward position, i then thought of opening the door and you will get to it through the gap between door and wing but nope to thin. Has anyone done this or is there a special tool required?
 
I had a look at mine today. Which way are you wanting to move the door? I know a few places that have simply put a trolley jack under the door.
 
The bottom corner closest to the rear wants to move up ever so slightly. I can see a jack working but wont the bolt still need tightening once done
 
I've read of people doing it without losening the bolt. Just a jack with a peice of wood under it.
