How difficult is replacing the bottom hinge on a 1982 Crown Victoria? They
are just bolted not 'glued' on correct?

Thanks

You mean welded, right? Should be 2-3 bolts on the door and 2-3 bolts to the body.
You may have to remove the kick panel to access one of the bolts from the inside.

The concept of car door hinge replacement is quite simple. In practice,
replacement and adjustment can be a real hassle. They are just bolted,
accessing the bolts is the hard part.
