Try a 50/50 mix of acetone and Dexron/Mercon Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) and shake well and then submerge the hinge.

That has worked for me in the past.

Just looked it up for a reference.

And even Road Kill uses it So it has to work.

Had my 70 C10 hood hinges and first get Camaro Door hinges rebuilt by Willie at,

Hood Hinge Repair

Easy to work with, prompt service and I thought he very was reasonable for the services provided.

Thanks,
Steve
