The door bars really weigh that much? I heard they are like 2 lbs each. Damn interwebs!

I made the tool with the socket cut and welded to a piece of band iron, made it go much easier. I had to cut them in half inside the door to get them out, or you can use a hole saw at the back of the door (under the lock and latch). I saw where someone also got them out through the gromet at the front of the door for the wires but it looked like a PITA. Took be maybe 3 minutes to cut with a cutoff wheel. With bolts I think mine were 6-7 pounds per side, the door definatly feels lighter now. Total time was about 3 hours including pulling and replacing the door pannels.
