I only had to remove the lower hinge. You might have to loosen the top hinge on the door connection to give a little play in the door in case the hinge is stuck from old age.

I was able to replace the hinge myself. It would have been handy to have someone to help with the adjusting after the hinge is back on, but not neccessary.

I didn't outline the old hinge and was fine, but it is always a good idea to have a reference point.

Good Luck,

I'm constantly amazed at how easy the 240's can be taken apart and put back together.
