I was recently in an accident. No major damage just the door. So i bought a new door from a scrapyard,but i cant figure out how to get the old one off because it's jammed

 

These bodies are thin and flimsy. I can't tell if it's a 2d or 4 door but if you mean the front door I'd say just pull it really hard. Assuming the latch is still good and disengaging.

 

Hammer and a pry bar?

 

a good kick from the inside.
while someone is pushing in the button from the outside of course.

 

I'm imagining a modern day three stooges routine. I can see it now. The poor soul holding the outside door button gets whacked in the face as the door flies open. Just warn the fella on the outside first. It will take some brutality to unstick collision damage.

 

... and then the victim blames the innocent 3rd party.

Please film this just incase.

 

You punch a big hole through the old door, and get a tow chain, and a buddy with another Jeep....

 

 

Since it doesn't look that hard to pull open due to the sheet metal interference, I'm thinking that maybe you can't get it open because the latch itself is jammed. From the picture, it looks like you need to give it a good shove INward, and likely forward, too. Try a big crowbar near the latch and lever it forward while pushing in on the door, then go through the 3 stooges routine.

 

lol just roll the window down first so it doesn't hit him in the head. lol

 

 

Now that you have all the remedies and solutions from here, () did you get it open ??
If it's a front door, the A pilar may have been pushed or pulled back a bit too, keeping the door jammed & stuck...

 

If you are by yourself and you don't need to keep the old one I would say a demolition grade sawz all and an air chisel would do the trick. By the way is that a Med Fern Green Metallic XJ you have there? I have only seen maybe 3 others besides mine.

 

Sawzall

 

Than you all for the advice and the laughter. I managed to do it with two large screwdrivers and a hammer; however, I am now looking to replace the door but because the door is bent up i can not access the star shaped screws attatching the door. Does anyone have a writeup on front panel removal so I can access it that way?
