Good news for you, You DO NOT have to remove the torsion bar to remove the 
door,just unplug the door harness thru the access hole on the roof,pull the 
harness thru after you remove the harness water seal plate(two 
screws)(p/n108599)then have the door supported or held in the fully opened 
position,remove the gas strut(caution:Make sure the door is HELD up in the 
fully open position,as you remove the strut,othewise the door will come down 
on you,then all that is left is to remove the FOUR HORIZONTAL bolts that are 
on the swivel part of the door hindges(The ones that go thru/hold the doors) 
and one person on each side of the door takes it away,when installing the new 
door make sure you DO NOT bump into the torsion bar, I have removed(and 
installed) many Delorean doors this way,and have never had any problems,as 
long as you do not remove the Torsion bar Retainer Plate(p/n 105006)the 
torsion bar will stay under torque whether the door is on the car or off the 
car,also remember that the torsion bars,CANNOT be interchanged between left 
or right side.
