Door hinge pins
I wanted to install new seals and adjust my doors as I decided to install a set of Altman latches.
I knew I had to start with my hinge pins and bushings. So a couple weeks ago, in preparation for this, I ordered a set of pins and bushings for both doors as well as several other parts for some other "maintenance" LOL. This morning I removed the driver door and noticed the pins and hinge bushings were loose, as I expected. I heated up one of the hinges and knocked the pin out. The ID of the bushings were shot, they are elongated and out of round on the OD. I got everything cleaned up and ready to reassemble when I realized my hinge pins and the bushings are larger in diameter. Both the upper and lower hinge pins are .395" diameter vs the new pins @ .340". Even the pin lengths are significantly different. Both of my pin shaft lengths are 3.20" vs the new pin length of 3.95" It's obvious now that GM changed these sizes but I don't even know what to order now. Dorman has about 15 different variations but none clearly identify the specs of the pin and bushing. Anybody else experience this and have any suggestions? |
