How do you get the door off? - Land Rovers Only

So my driver's door (front) is out of alignment. The upper rear of the window frame hits the B-pillar, just barely. I know I need to remove one of the shims from the upper hinge. Does anyone have any ideas, tips or tricks to get to the screws?

Thanks.

I remember pulling the doors off my RR and it was a PIA. You have to have the door half open. I'll take a look at my Disco tonite.

A PIA, that's what I was thinking. It looks like I may have to remove the door from the chasis and then remove the hinge from the door. Oh, and have an extra pair of hands.

I was right, it was a pain! But it's done, now I have to adjust the striker post. Anyone know what size "inside" socket to use?
