Door won't open

[MI4x4]

New to Jeeps and have my first question

The door only cracks open about an inch or two but won't open any further. Not trying to remove the door but simply open it. Any idea's on how to fix this? When I move the door it looks like its basically going to snap the door hinge right off. its an 08 4 door Sahara if that helps!

*Note* The door worked two weeks ago, and when I went to put my dog in the back, it all of a sudden wouldn't open. It's the back passenger door.

Thanks!

Try to spray some penetrating oil into the hinge pins and just keep working it back and forth.

X2 What BlackJKU said. I would add to use a good penetrating fluid. Kraol Oil comes to mind. You will probably have to do this a few times and keep working the door.

PB Blaster works good also. WD-40 would also work if you would happen to have that.

Wow, the door is that bad? Is there a lot of rust on it? I can't even imagine how this would happen. It sounds like it needs a good greasing.
