I started doing that this weekend for that very reason. Was contemplating renting a porta power for doing the heavy work of popping it out and then working it from there.

Ordered up some cunningham machine door pins, rollers, and roller bars.
Talk to me about pinion seal replacements. From what I've read and looked at it, it shouldn't be that bad. Scribe a mark across the pinion shaft, nut, and yoke. Remove nut, yoke, seal. Install seal, yoke, tighten nut back to where marks line up. I could go and get a beam wrench and see what the rotational torque is before hand if I wanted to be double sure.

Just make sure you don't overtighten it.
It is.
Decided to bleed the brakes tonight. Pumped a quart through 3 of the wheels to get clean fluid. 
Why only 3 you ask? Because I went to do the fourth and nothing. Pulled the bleeder out and nothing. Crack the line loose and fluid is pouring out. So now I get to yank that caliper and see if I can repair it or more than likely just replace it. Always something.

Door pins, rollers, and roller bars from Cunningham machine. Solid looking parts and made in the good ol USA.
New calipers, new pads, and new rubber brake lines up front are done. Tried to replace the rear rubber line but the nuts didn’t want to budge and I could see my regular wrench starting to slip so I stopped. Gonna buy a set of line wrenches while the wd40 does its thing hopefully.
Think I’m gonna go ahead and just buy tires for it before I get paid Thursday. Dad is coming up this weekend and it’d be pretty cool to take him for a spin in it.

Parrot jaw vice grips for those stubborn brake lines.
And some penetrating oil…wd-40 isn’t the best tool for rusted frozen brake fittings. Hit them with a torch to break the bond, let them cool slightly then hit em with some liquid wrench or PB Blaster penetrating oil.
