Pop the cover off that goes over the guide rail (might be screwed on).
Slide the door open and release the hinge guide from the rail.
Pull the door outwards from the rear and lift it up off the rail.
Slide the lower arm out of its guide.

It's quite a bit easier with an assistant!

I've a feeling the welding won't be quite as easy, but good luck anyway!
