Door Hinge Pins
I'm replacing the drivers door due to the
rust at the bottom. Also noticed that the hinges allow the door to sag about 1/2" at the outer edge of the door. So...I want to replace the hinge pins/bushings. Has anybody done this? Can to get replacements at the local parts store in the Help section? I know I can get 'em at LMC and others but I was wanting to get this done right away. Jim Mt Juliet |

I have done alot of them and they work fine (sometimes they require a little heat to come out)

I did the hinges on my 71 4x4 and they really aren't to much hassle to deal with. Just grind off the swaged tips and punch them out with a drift pin. Helps if you have a bench vise. I used some lithium grease when I pressed them back in and then "staked" them with a punch. Sure made a difference. Pretty straight forward re-build.
