I've been there before on my '87,and indeed the front fender does have to be removed to access the rear of the door hinges which you can move the door up,down,left,and right to align it.Just be prepared for an extremly patience testing experience,not to mention having to manage all the screws,bolts,nuts,clips and pushpins,and remembering their locations.Here is a short list of all the things you must remove to release the front fender:

-remove front bumper and related pieces

-remove headlamps,turn signal lens,and grill

-remove front end

-remove bolts attaching battery tray and vacuum reservoir for right fender

-remove battery,vacuum reservoir,and all grounds,wires etc. attached to right fender

-remove screws attaching lower end of fender to cab

-remove screws from inside attaching lower end of fender to cowl

-remove screws attaching front fender to cowl extension

-remove screws attaching fender to apron

-remove pushpins attaching fender to wheel well

-remove hood hinge from fender

-remove hood assist spring to front fender

-remove fender

Good Luck!
