It's a 1999 Wrangler. I bought new hinges, and I'm not sure how to get the old ones off. Do I have to take off the inside door panel to get to the door hinges or what?How do I change my Jeep Wrangler windshield hinges and door hinges?
They are Torx bolts. You need to get a Torx socket set and use them on your ratchet. Careful, Torx bolts are easy to strip out.How do I change my Jeep Wrangler windshield hinges and door hinges?
On my friends Jeep, the bolt heads were all exposed. Just loosen the bolts and replace. Suggest a six sided socket and stuff it with paper towel to protect bolt.
Try loosening the bolts on just one hinge at a time. That way you shouldn't lose the alignment of the door. It might be off just a hair so a slight adjustment might be necessary but it should be close enough you can use the door.

Replace the bolts while you are at it. Be careful not to strip the threads, finger tighten them first. You may even want to put some lock tight on them.
