Both doors are sagging badly and don't line up well. Upon inspection the pins and bushings are worn and hollowed out, and the detent roller is also worn out.
I plan on replacing the hinges. Can it be done with the doors and fenders still on the car? If I do them one hinge at time, will that work?

Doing it with the fenders on the car will be a real challenge. Much easier done with the fender out of the way, and certainly best to swap out one at a time.

I removed and rebuilt the driver side hinges on my 70 TA several years ago without removing the door or fender. I fabricated a door jig that worked with my floor jack. You must be careful and slow but it can be done
good luck
