But sadly you buried this great information in a 2 year old thread that has over 4000 replies & 430 plus pages about various other topics.

Perhaps you'll consider starting a new thread with this info...so that others that will eventually need to change a door carrier, can find it and gain all the information from everyone asking and responding to this one topic. It's like you tossed nuggets of gold into a mud puddle.

For instance, what tools are required, what do you remove first, are there any special tricks...or is it pretty straight forward etc.
