Nice work, those doors will operate like new. Thanks for sharing how it is done
You're welcome RG - thanks for watching and the positive comments - always good to hear :)
Good straight forward instructions. But you missed the opportunity to drill and tap for a grease zerk....did that on all my old Mopars.
Great idea GB - never actually thought of that. Thanks 😊
Great job Jerry. It's been awhile since I've changed hinge bushings in anything
Thanks Bruce - it's been a while for me too - doors are lighter today I guess. Feel sorry for pins and bushings in the 50's-70's.
Good video Jerry, short and to the point. I have a car I need to change them on.
Thanks 👍Leigh - have a good week my friend :)
I worked at a GM dealership through the 80’s and I sure had my fill of replacing pins and bushings. Terrible design. Most people brought them in way past the life of the bushings. Lots of fun trying to weld up hinges to make the bushings fit. Have a good weekend Jerry
It's not a fun job really. Fun if the door and fender is off though. Have a good weekend Greg - thanks for checking it out :)
great job
Thanks y friend - enjoy the weekend :)
What a great video Jerry there's nothing like using the original hinges with a little rebuilt and they are like new again
Yep - thanks for checking out the video Luis - enjoy the weekend :)
Very nice Jerry. That will be a big improvement on the AMX.
Thanks Tom - always nice to hear from you. Hope you're doing well 👍😊
I loathe pins and bushings 😉😉
Not fun when the panels are on 😒 - thanks for checking it out BB - enjoy the weekend 👍
Great video Jerry ! You made that look really easy. Im sure its not. Im actually in the middle of removing the front door on my VW bus. Might try at the pin instead of the bolts
Thanks for watching Stephan - have a great week my friend :)
If I was doing hinge pins on a Jeep, it would be easy because the doors (and roof) are designed to be removed and put back on.
Did you know that Daisy Duke drove a Jeep?
Yes - I paid close attention when and what she was driving. I liked her roadrunner too - satellite? - not sure what it was but it was cool :)
I did the bushings in my S10, and I have the spring compressor tool, but they also made a tool shaped like a question mark for removing the pins. I have that too. I've used it on one vehicle. Not cost effective, but handy if you don't have an air hammer. lol
Does the ? mark tool reach the pins better than an air hammer ?
@@LakesideAutobody It has a notch. You can bump the pin up and then move it under the head and get it off. More if you don't have an air hammer than anything. I forgot I even had one until recently.
I have an 80 Z28 (have had one since 1990 or so), so I've had to change my share of pins and bushings with those 200 lb doors, lol.
I've done a few of those in the 80's - you're right - I feel real sorry for the pins and bushings :)
Heh... I've never been part of a hinge pin replacement that didn't require a welder. Normally the bushings are a distance memory from long time ago and the hinge bodies need to become round again before accepting new ones.
You're right - it's not good when the holes are damaged. Pins and bushing were a bad design with those heavy 70's doors :)
I sure would like to see a video of taking off the door on a 57 Chevy and putting it back on and adjusting it if you could. Thanks
I would love to do that for you - if I come across one I'll make that video Michael 👍
@@LakesideAutobody or any hard top door. I can get it off but getting it back on and adjusted is above my pay grade. I have some rust bubbles on the bottom corners to fix but I would have to fix them with the door on the car because I'm afraid to take the doors off. Thanks
❤
Thanks for checking it out my friend :)
I thought it was gonna be on and old ford. Changed many of those
👍😊
1:34 and I have already forgot what went where, good job Jerry, drink twoferme
I did today actually - Naty's - like 8 bucks for a 15 pack
@@LakesideAutobody I used to drink ALOT of nattys
I did mine a couple years ago. The pins never seated all the way and it’s starting to feel like it’s time again.
An air hammer works good to make sure they're seated well. Have a good weekend Dead B.
@@LakesideAutobody I saw that in your video! I have one now so when I do them again I’ll be sure to give them a couple pokes! Thank you!
You forgot step 1, remove the door LOL
Yes - but many times you don't have to. It's more of a paint but it's possible to do it with the fender on and the door - one hinge at a time :)
This is wrong on so many levels. Maybe you should actually learn what you’re doing bud
Like?? Only thing I see wrong is that one pin upside down.....but not his doing.
@@geobrown9413 if you watch it again, you'll see that the original pin was upside down also. I have no clue what the guy you are replying to, is referring to. Looks like a job well done to me.
Hey Small N - nice to hear from you. Trying to get lamb basted with that comment? Hope all is well with you :)_
@@troymecey Yes, that's what I was referring to. " ....but not his doing."
@@geobrown9413sorry, I misunderstood 😊
