DO NOT buy the doorman bushings and pins. They will crumble. I went through 2 sets in 2 months. Finally went to my local GM dealership AC Delco Pins and OEM bushings. Fit way nicer, door closes better, lasting longer and more durable.
Great video, My driver door on my 2002 S10 is sagging as well.
The hammer is a great way to destroy the brass bushings. I use a bolt and nut with washers to pull the bushing in place.
+stjohnsriverrat We appreciate the feedback. Sometimes there are multiple ways to accomplish the same repair. 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
I gotta i brought gm spring tool and couldn't get the spring out and then remembered this video. Thanks for your trick on getting the spring out. The show couldn't start without this trick!. I watched alot of hinge videos and this is the only one that shows it. Thanks!
We used zip ties on the spring and a c- clamp to compress the print. It took 5 zip ties which were grocery store purchased.
LoL I used my snap on needle nose pliers son.
When I did mine I noticed that the holes in the hinges had become out of round so I actually had to weld the holes a bit and use a round file to resize the holes before replacing the pins and bushings.
I am a 58 yo female and I can do this now by myself (well, with someone holding the door). Thank you!!!
Do not hammer the bushing in the whole way or it will crack. Use a nut, bolt and washers to press the bushing in. Once the bushing reaches the end of the hinge hole you need to remove the homemade press or else the end of the bushing will break. Now you can tap the bushing the rest of the way, about 1/8” with a flat object that FULLY covers the bushing head…
Thanks for the vid. Is it a good idea to add a little grease to the new pins and bushings to stop them from wearing out?
imo, id say no, under typical circumstances. thing is, grease will also collect dust. the grit can wear the bushings quicker. on the other hand, if you live in a dry arid environment, or its a show car, you may decide this is a non-issue for you.
I have also seen this guy on 1aauto videos
Thanks for this. I just called my dealer for a labor estimate, but maybe I'll do it myself.
Never when i use a hammer they always brake now use a bolt and some wash will push the bushing in straight
Just for good measure shouldn't we lube it after this also?
You can also use a c Clamp to compress the spring and wrap several zip ties around inner coils to reinstall if you don't have the tool
My copper bushing broke when tapping it inn. Also my door still hangs after changing the bushings and pins . What else to change ??? Door hinge maybe ???
Nope. Don't beat the bushing in with a hammer unless you have a bunch of spares. Most of them are made of brass. Brass is very soft and brittle. Good chance they will crumble. Instead use a 1.5 to 2 inch long 5/16" fully threaded bolt & a nut, plus another larger nut that the hole size fits slightly loosely over the small end of bushing. For top bushings, slide bushing on bolt and drop thru hole. Slide larger nut up over bolt and hold in place while threading 5/15 nut on. Use a flat washer between the larger nut & 5/16 so it doesn't try to suck up into the larger nut. Slowly tighten to press bushing into place. Make sure the bushing is going in straight. Tap the bolt a little sideways as needed to get it straight. Flip bolt/nut assemble over for other bushings. Also...It's common for the cab side of the hinge to be wider apart than optimal. I slip a flat washer between them to help lift the door and close the gap. If there is vertical slack it tends to wear the bushings out faster.
Yeah those bushings were not sitting straight in the closeups in the video. Not only that but this guy was hitting everything on the backstroke with his hammer like it was his job. Hardly any tool control at all. Otherwise good video.
This is a great tip!
Excellent explanation on how to press the bushings in correctly. You should do a video.
Dude, I wish I had seen this comment, my bushings crumbles by tapping them with a screwdriver handle, I was like wtf
good tutorial! Unfortunately the hole in my top bracket is wallowed out on the outside of it. Instead of cutting the bracket out and welding in a new one in, I'm going to try filling the loose side of the bracket with JB Weld.
Sounds crappy but one of the threads on the inside of my my transmission housing was glued in with JB Weld before I bought the truck and held, until the transmission was rebuilt. at that time the housing was replaced because of that.
All this will do is fill in the gap and make the bushing more secure. It held without anything to support the bushing for 2 yrs, and now it's time to replace it again. Maybe the JB Weld will help it last longer. Got my fingers crossed. Unless you have a video on how to fix a sloppy hole like this better, that I can watch, or a good suggestion.
My new bushing broke into pieces when I barely tapped them
Yeah, same problem here. It's not necessarily the TQR parts; they're just very brittle. Ya have to be light on your strokes. Mine exploded when I put a pliers on em.
The gold colored ones cracked right away for me , but i got silver ones also and they tough as nails! Banged on dat chit lol
Mine just broke,went to ace hardware got different ones
Look up endurapin.
Thanks!
Good video of a proper install… However, DO NOT hammer those bushings in. They will break in a heart beat. Also just an fyi that door weighs about 75lbs so you might want to get or build some sort of a stand to hold it.
+Ben B Thanks for the feedback! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
How do you recommend getting the bushings in if you can’t hammer them?
@@DeFreshS10 channel locks and a large socket. makeshift mini press.
wonder if small engine valve spring compressor would work.
Can you make a video on how? Remove and replace the pin and roller that's on your. Left(inner)
+Victor T We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
Thanks for the info video!!
Isn't that the homie from 1A-Auto?
You confused me on the clips you said facing up and away and then you said the first one you’ll face the bend up but I think it went the bend going downward
Has anyone noticed that this is the guy from 1auto that make svideos as well
Yes?! What he be doin doe?
I can’t do this personally but I’m having someone do it for me I just wanted to see what was involved with it
Do you have anyting on how to replace heater blend door activator on S10 2002
I enjoy your experience
Like it simple direct TY
The first hit on 2023 bushing would then be toast.
You the best, genial! #1
Please don't beat on the bushings, they are extremely fragile!!!
Part number and brand of that spring compress tool please ?
Amazon has them
So instead of taking both put at the same time why not replace them one at a time?
Great video. Technically speaking the spring is under compression not tension ... not relevant to the repair but proper terminology
+Grey Haired Mountain Biker Thanks for the feedback! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
Why can't the top pin go in the down position
My brothers in christ.... do not hammer these bushings at all. They WILL crumble. Use the pliers with a socket on the opposite side to seat them. This kit sucks. Ive bought 5 packs of them for one door. 1 pack was missing a bushing and the other pack had two large bushings. And i crushed 2 bushings with a brass hammer.
Just waiting for him to say “varicle” instead of “vehicle”.
If you beat on those bushings you will break them..
Why not change one at a time
That is a good question
i think you gotta slide the door out of the way to replace the bushings. i was watching pretty close because only the top pin needs done on my 99. i was hoping i could get away with not pulling both pins, since im working by myself.
Because you have to move the door away you cannot leave one pin on because you won't be able to remove the bushings
How do you change out the hinge roller that the spring presses the door piece against?
Also yall don’t need two people just replace a pin at a time while doing it by urself
