Having done this twice, I can tell you that it's easier than it looks. First, check the pictures in this thread ( https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...?threadid=35659) and read the text.
The trick is to remove the two pins that hinge the door to the frame. You do this with a small screwdriver or rod, with a shaft slightly smaller in diameter than that of the pin. You hammer the pins out toward the outside of the frame, until they protrude enough to pull the rest of the way out with a needle-nose pliar. Set them aside carefully - they're easy to loose. Once the pins are out, remove the door, but be very careful not to loose the small spring on the left side hinge -- you'll need that for the new door.
When you attach the new door, first slip the spring over the peg on the left side of the door, then slip the door into place, holding in nearly closed, being careful to keep the spring in position. When the door is nearly in place, grab the end of the spring that sticks out with a sturdy tweezers and hold it in place over the small notch in the frame as you move the door tightly into position, making sure the spring end seats in the notch as you move the door fully into place against the frame. Keep the door seated tightly against the frame as you tap the pins back into position from the outside.
If you work deliberately and carefully, this shouldn't be too difficult.
