Door skin removal?

Don't know if this is the right forum, but here it goes.

Just wondering how hard it is to remove and replace a door skin? I have some slight damage and happened along some nice panels at the local pick and pull lot. I've done fenders and FBC before, just not the door skins.

Thanks
Finch

The skin can be replaced on a 4th gen. You have to cut a large access hole in the skin. While prying with a putty knife, use a heat gun capable of 400° to separate the adhesive holding the skin to the inner panel.

LT1/LT4 Engine Tech is for questions about "engines", not door skins.
