First get a set of door pins and bushings from the parts store. It's a good idea to replace the bushings and pins when installing a new door, especially if the vehicle is older. You'll want to have some grease on hand as well. Disconnect your battery and take off the moldings, door handle and anything else you want to put on the new door. Disconnect any harness that runs to the door for power windows, automatic locks, speakers, adjustment lever for electrical side view mirrors and the like. You will need a friend or two to hold the door while you do the next part. Inspect the pin for any retaining device and remove it. Then take a hammer and a punch and knock out the door pin. Be careful not to try to knock it out the wrong way. It's helpful to squirt some lubricant or liquid wrench down the pin beforehand ( and let it soak in ) especially if the pins are old. Do this with your friend(s) holding the door so you don't tweak the metal where the hinges are when only have one of them loose. Then knock out the other pin. Next, and again using a suitable punch, knock out the bushings. Install your new door in reverse order. When putting in the new bushings be gentle and use something flat while tapping them in (emphasis on tapping ) to spread the shock of the hammer evenly around the edge. Put some grease in them before inserting your pins.
You will also need to deal with the spring that holds the door open. A simple tool is available from the parts store for less than $20 that will help you remove and replace that spring without damage to the door or yourself.
