Default RE: need help replacing door bushings

get ready for a pain in the *** job! to put it simply, support the door with a jack (or friend), drive out the hinge pin with a punch (or they make a special tool to drive out the pin), take the old bushings out and carefully tap in the new ones. be careful cause they're very soft. you can do one hinge at a time and just move the door enough to get at the bushings. just be careful not to stretch the wires going into the door. or you can take the whole door off if you don't feel like trying to balance it while working. eithe way, its prbably going to suck and it helps to have an extra hand. good luck!
