door hinge pins help

[Dreamcar]

Is there an easy way to get them out? I bought a hinge repair kit but cant get the old rusty pins out.

Thanks

Soak them in PB blaster, might have to use torch (propane or oxyacetylene if available) to heat them up.

Then i just hit them from the bottom and they should come out?

Grind the pin flush with the hinge body first. They are mushroomed out to prevent them from coming apart.

I just got the pins out by grinding the heads off. All done! Thanks

Did you do all four hinges?

[Dreamcar]

I'm repairing three, and completly replacing another.

If you use a AMD or other after market hinge make sure to compare it closely  to ensure it is the same dimensions. I learn t this the hard way!
