If you have still have the fender off you can just remove the door from the hinge to access it, but no you do not need to remove the hinge.
Also chances are the new hinge will re-align the door to the factory settings and often does if it has never been removed from the car.
Again, I find it much better to leave the hinge (on the body), install the new pins and then adjust the hinge (in place) if needed.
Even if you are going to remove it anyway it's much easier to mock-up, and as mentioned may possibly be in the correct location.
