how do i fit a new hinge for hotpoint wdm73a?

The hinge on the door of my hotpoint ultima wdm73a had sheared the top pin. I have a new hinge but cant get the door frame off to fit the new hinge. Anyone got any ideas?

unscrew screws at rear to slide off the top cover. check if there is a seam running down each side panel. pop small round circular plastic covers at the bottom, should reveal fixing screws. when removed machine splits in two. manufacturers are now using torx type screws to try to keep people out of the machines. you may need to buy a set of torx screwdriver bits to get the screws removed.
