In this video I show you how I changed my door hinge pins on my 1995 GMC Suburban K1500. This should be the same method for most Suburban Tahoe Yukon Silverado & Sierra trucks.

I used an engine hoist with a rolled towel around the top of the window frame and lifted up slightly to hold my door so I could do this by my lonesome :D
The Rev taking the door off made it much easier for me.
i used a backhoe!
This was super helpful and made the task easy. Removing the bushings was a little consuming but nothing crazy. Thanks a lot.
Awesome video. The first 4 videos in my search we're professionally made but nowhere near as descriptive with no closeups whatsoever. Great job. Very helpful.
Dude, you're the man! I'm fixing my 97 K1500 using your video as instructive guide.
Just replaced mine as well, and put in a new center pin (that the spring presses on). A dremel tool with cut off wheels & sanding drums is A MUST HAVE!
Its actually called a "roller pin" and I agree that a dremel tool is good to have handy. The new roller pin typically is a bit larger in the serrated shoulder area. Dremel can open up the hole a little. Plus you can use it to grind off the end at the top where the factory mushroomed it. Without a dremel tool you can use a hacksaw blade and a rat tail file. Much harder.
You offer simple and easy to follow instructions, and show all steps - thank you for sharing. :)
Thank you so much for all of this. My '99 Tahoe definitely needs this done asap.
Thanks for putting up this video. I've a 95 k1500 and 96 c1500 both needing what you just did. Now I have known what to do. Again thanks!
+danny Clark Glad to help.
Thank you so much for this! I've been trying to figure out if I can do this myself (I have multiple disability issues) and I'm going to have to let someone whose shoulders don't dislocate do it. But now I know all the components and what time goes into it so I can tell them what I need and not have anyone try to rip me off at a shop for labor and parts, so I thank you very much for that!
As an aside, both you and your wife are lovely people. I reckon that's a very good looking baby I hear in the background.
Thanks again!
Good video. 2 quick notes. You don't need to go only for the pins. Any auto parts should carry them. 2nd when reinstalling the compressed spring try closing the door as much to get the extra room.
This video really helps. Thank you. I am going to replace mine soon.
This is by far the best video I have viewed on changing the door pins and the springs.
excelente lo felicito, la mejor explicación sobre este trabajo. He visto muchos videos y este es el mejor !!!
Your helper sure is patient.
It is easier to put the bushings on with a nut and bolt and some washers u just tighten down and they go in easy and a lot less beating and mangling of the lip of the bushings
How?
Had to pull my door, they were so far gone I couldn't get the:bushing flanges out, and; had to grind. Wood blocks helped ease the door off and on. (Silverado )
Dude, that makes complete sense. I'm going back outside to do exactly that instead of beating them in.
@@tedburkholder8156 probably put the bolt through the bushing with a washer on either side then tighten the nut to pull it in
Awesome tip!
Longtime NO SEE, Great Block of Instruction.
just found your video was thinking i was gonna have to replace the entire hinge.thumbs up from me.
Thanks man. Also thanks to your wife. What a sport.
Excellent video. Very well documented. A+ Thank you!!!
Hello 1 Road. I've owned my 95 Chevy Suburban for just a little over two years now and my wife is about to kill me because of the driver door hanging and flopping around and never closing fully. Thank you for sharing a video on how to easily do this job for the doors and a headache relief from the wife.
Nice job getting ready to do.mine on my 98 Sierra. The only thing I suggest is putting some grease on the pin where it goes through the bushing to eliminate future squeeks and hangups. No grease is what wears out the bushing metal to.metal rubbing. The bushings are brass but will.still wear out.
man I've been slamming the hell out of my door for years,i think i will continue for a while,thats a lot of stuff to do,i mean not really but I've got too much going on right now with it.its a 95 gmc Z71 I've had it for 17 years and I'm doing some touching up,new body mold trim ordered off of amazon,for sides and front bumper,full brake job front and back,repaint the frame with some POR. and so on.gotta make it look good for another 20 years haha.i put a new engine and tranny in it myself so i know i can handle this,just not now,thanks for the great video man.
onewheelup it’s a lot easier then it looks👍 if you have a garage or carport take a couple ropes or straps and suspend the door with window down tie on each side and boom no wife needed lol!
U better do it soon before it wears down the hinge and is still gonna sag a litlle
Thanks for this video. Appreciate you taking the effort.
I just did mine and it seemed a lot easier to pull the wiring harnesses out of the truck side, unplug them, and then just take the door completely off. Made taking out and installing the bushings a lot easier. Just my experience.
Scott Garvison agreed! We did it by holding the door and about half way through realized we could just unhook the harness and lower the whole door. One we removed the door, there was much more room to hit the pins into place and the job was smooth sailing after that
Great job bro I appreciate the video!
Amigo cómo estás? muy bueno tu video, seguí las intrucciones paso a paso. Qué bueno que tienes una esposa que te syuda, porque en estos tiempos es dificil encontrar una esposa qué ayude a uno. Saludos desde Oregon.
Very very useful info. Saving this
Fantastic video bud! Thanks!
The hardest part for me was putting the spring back in. I hated having to do that.
Good video. Very helpful. Thanks.
I've done a bunch of these, and I can say this is a VERY good tutorial!!! Good Luck, and fer sure, get the door spring tool!!
You say you done a lot of these Maybe you can answer me this. I am left wondering if it would not be easier to do just one hinge at a time. Seems it may make you able to do it with out the jack and maybe even the helper. Am I the smartest guy in the world or the dumbest. There may well be a good reason for doing this way if there is please school me.
@@yohon1550 You would be wise to do both at once, because the brass bushing inserts are inside the hinge, and the door needs to be completely detached to change them. if you only do one, you would need to completely remove the door again to change the second one later. i use a jack stand to hold the door up, and a helper to hold the door when the second pin is removed. also, you can insert a phillips screwdriver in the top holes to hold it while you install the bottom pin. bottom pin points down, top pin points up.
How did you put the little black clips got my spring back in and both pins?
Great video. I got a estimate for having them changed at a body shop $421! I'll follow your video. Thanks again.
Was that for each one or all together?
@@kbanghart one door
@@alp3274 wow. Guess I'll live with mine for now lol
Wow! That's excessive.
I recommend wearing safety glasses and lubing everything when you're done.
I recommend you shut tha
thank you, great video, educational.....
Great video Jimmy. Where do you get that spring compressor tool at?
very informative. thank you.
Thanks for this video!
Good work men
Great video love you shows- please can you tell me where to find that SPRING TENSIONER TOOL I can’t find it nowhere- thanks
Klaus Zungler O’Reilly’s
Thank you sir. Was helpful
Do you ned to file the holes for the bushings?????
If thpat top b
olt is missing will the door sag?
Great video. Thanks. Peace.
Where did you find the spring compressor?
my door is jacked because of the little roller to the right of the pin that you are replacing. anyone know what it is called?
Good job! My 92 sierra door hing pins should be looked at. I did notice that the door "stay open" bearing on my truck's driver's side is tilted. Looks like I will be making a spring compressor gadget for that. It might just need to be knocked back in place. My wife cannot hold my truck's door. Possibly it could be held up by ropes with jack underneath. Also, other truck stuff.. the fuel pump 12 volts goes through the oil pressure switch, located behind the distributor on my 92 GMC Sierra! Guess how I found that out!! Check out my how to do a clutch, U joints. Thanks for the link.
LOL at 8:15 the last time I helped you I got electrocuted!
that's your fault....lol
The pin and bushing kits that Autozone sells off the peg board (38416) have bushings that break every time you try to press them into the hinges. This morning I went through 4 kits just to get ONE new upper bushing in. The bottom one broke every time. I finally gave up trying to replace them all. I think I'll find a different brand that actually FIT in the holes.
Well done
Were did u get the spring tool?
nice work mate i need make the same on my suburban 95 cheers from norway
Where do we get the spring compressor??
thanks for the help here
Thanks buddy!
Awesome video bro. My 2D tahoe driver side door is jacked up...lol, I'm betting this is why. So can they be changed one at a time with one person??? Those pins come one in each package, correct? Thanks.
I replaced mine pins and bushing and it still wont close right anyone else have this issue?? How did you fix it
Hinges are adjustable and so is the striker pin where it latches.
"drive her home"
i'll bet you enjoy that alot lucky guy
Haha! How did she get electrocuted? Did I miss that in a previous video?
That outta be a good story.
where do you get that spring tool , that is what i need to install the spring ! man
O’Reilly’s Auto Parts has one.
Amazon for like 10 bucks
LOL my wife is always willing and helping me in the garage. No, it's more like, are you done already? Can i leave? The food is going to burn.... etc.
that's what I hear 30 seconds into sex, lol.
Someone else is banging her then broski
Would it be possible to swap out one pin at a time rather than remove both first? If done that way could it be a one person job?
Glenn Torgeson In short.. yes haha I showed this video to a buddy a couple of weeks after I replaced his pins alone on his 2000 Silverado because he wanted to know for himself how he could do it and I had a hard time explaining but I'm going to do it to my 1998 Cheyenne in a couple days again by my lonesome :)
@@666bulba no you cant you have to get the door out to swap the bushings
godam thats genius. so yeah you can do that ! it's dark out or I would do just the top one tonight, thing is I need someone to hold the flashlight
@@gizmono2869 you cant change the bushings with the door on
@@MrFuchew bet .. I did it without the flashlight bud
While it is ALWAYS a pleasure to see and hear your lovely wife, ....... I have a dumb question: Why wouldn't you do one pin at a time so the door was secure on one still installed and supported by the jack?? (Not enough free play to get bushings out with just one pin out??)
You need to separate the hinges to get the new bushings in.
Any time you are using a spring compressor you need to be wearing safety glasses. If the stored energy in that spring were suddenly released, the spring would fly like bottle rocket and if it hit you in the eye.......bye, bye eye. Don't take chances with your eyes.
Where do you get the tool for compressing the spring?
+FXD1936 I think I got it from LMC Truck. But you might try a local auto parts store...
found one on amazon under "Performance Tool W84603 Door Spring Tool"
where did you get that spring removal tool from ?
It's been a while... Not sure. Might have been Amazon
LMC TRUCK .c o m
door hinge spring compresser
part #38-1309
My 92 sierra top hinge side fits with the bushins but my bottoms are not able to fit at all any help ?
Probably have the wrong parts for it.
I'll double check on that. Good luck on that task...
put some antiseize compound in the bushings they will last forever
Antiseize is an abrasive and will cause it to wear out extremely quick. Just put some common high temp bearing grease on it.
Where can I buy the tool/spring compresser to install the spring. What is the proper name of the tool called.
I don’t use extensions for punches, or adjustable wrenches for hammers either, right tool for job?
Whats the pic in the background? How long did your lovely wife have to hold that door?
Wow dude nice. Ur wife rocks. So do you. You look like the agent from ozark ;P
I have a 1989 GMC are,can the bushings on top be on opposite side Drivers Door ?
1988.
@@stevenblue4822 did you ever get it done my 89 may be in the same shape
Yes,. I took my truck to the Shop and it was fixed. Thank you for being concerned.
I know I'm not the only one wondering why not just change them out one at a time? You would still need a jack and a block of wood though.
Watches entire video to see how to install lock washer. "Lock washer has been installed." o_0 #ARGGHHH!!!!!
+KTnarnia hahaha! I've been there too. Sorry!
Simple. Get a socket that is smaller than the lock washer but large enough to snap over the pin. Center it and then give it a sharp jab, and it will snap in place.
The top one is easy. The bottom one is a little tricker.
ya better take that little wife out for supper after all that. I really do need to know where to get spring clamp.

Buy Some punches and chisels for driving pins. Never use your ratchet extensions that's just wrong.
+Professor MEW Hey, when you want to get the job done you make due with what you have...
lol...he said AND THATS YER FAULT.
88-98
I bought these pins and they are crap. There is slop between the pins and the small bushings. DO NOT BUY
I agree but don't think there is another option.
@@1RoadGarage be nice if you mentioned that in your video wouldn't it? Don't want to cut into your amazon profits though
The problem with these is a VERY POOR design. The weight all holds off of the top of the top side body hinge, almost assuring if it ever starts to wear, that the bushing will BREAK. The metal the bushing fits in is VERY THIN, and this almost assures that unless you notice & fix the problem immediately (before the door sags) a new bushing won't help, the broken bushing allows the pin to wear out the metal. If they'd have designed these with a SOLID tube in that body side hinge part, with a full bushing in the whole thing, and a grease fitting, and maybe a bearing instead of a washer to hold the weight off the top of the body side part.... the 2000 came with a greaseable fitting, also, it's threaded so a thin washer isn't all that's holding it in, which is slightly better.
If you don't grease the heck out of them they, too wear quickly!
Why they did not design them to be more accessible, and, for instance, not have the hinge pin fit in the top one UPSIDE DOWN so it falls out if there's any wear (that thin metal ring that holds it in place, is a JOKE. ) Then there's that pesky spring that's impossible to put in without special tools. Dumb.
I've replaced mine twice & they're worn out again, and I just live with it, lifting the door so it will latch. The inside door handle has also broken twice, gave up on that, finally. Now the dang complicated latch at the back of the door is messed up as well. If you hit a bump it locks itself & you have to jimmy it open. As I said, very poor design. Same with the hood latch on these, and the hood brace, which is GLUED on and is very thin metal. Ah, I miss my '53, which was built solid!
Look at a house door hinge, and you'll find, no, a heavy door doesn't have most of the hinge pin exposed and only a thin metal part holding it in 4 spots. I've considered just ripping the originals out & putting house door hinges on the outside of the door, but they designed the damn doors curved so they won't fit very well that way (plus the doors are thin metal, so good luck holding them on to that & the fender.) Maybe, weld a tube in that body side part so it's solid, put in a grease fitting and a bearing.. Nah, not for a truck that's 22 years old & worth less than the tires on it...
Thank you for an excellent video and clear instructions.
Thanks to you, my 95 K1500 truck is running like a top. I’ve followed almost all of your videos. Thank you again.
All you need is a two by four to fix it. Look it up for yourself I promise it works. Put the Two by four in the bottom hinge then shut the door slowly a few times. Then check it. If it's not aligned do it again until it is aligned. It pulls the metal back out from the dent that occurs from the weight of the door. Look for the video it's on RUclips it works like a charm.
Use Cunningham Machine pins & bushings bushings are graphite bronze. Once and done.they have excellent pins too.😅😊
Thank you. My Tahoe needs these done badly.
Nice video, only thing I can add is if you have an oil can and mix 75% oil and 25% STP and oil those bushings once every year or two they will last forever.
THANK YOUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!
I used ratchet scraps tied around the door and hanging from my garage trusses. I was able to do it alone and there was no binding of the pins so the went in and out without difficulty. I appreciate the video as i used all your other tips!
you are a total dumb bunny that clip is a bushing and can not be removed like that.
Very helpful thank you and make sure your beautiful wife don't get electrocuted next time. 😉😉😉
Smoking a brass fittings is a big no no. Use a large C clamp
My issue is not either of those pins. It's the OTHER "pin" on the top hinge. It's broken and I can't find a tutorial on it anywhere. I'm desperate. I have a 1995 gmc 2500 pickup.
Thanks for the video, my '95 suburban had the door sag really bad. I used a hammer drill, pins and clips popped right out like in 5 seconds!
Thank you sir! . Very helpful
Very good video, thank you! 👏
This is the best video I’ve found for this job. Thanks.
if the striker is being worn away, would be a good idea to replace it?
Muchas gracias por tu Vídeo.
Yo mismo se lo haré a Mi Suburban 1998.

Great video! But, Id like to offer my 2 cents...are we sure the bushings are installed correctly? I don't have the answer. BUT, I have watched several videos covering this job and some say do it the way you did and others say both sets of bushings go in the body side of the hinge. Also, are we sure the flanges for the bushings are oriented correctly? Again, I don't have the answer....?
