FINALLY!!!! Gotthose hinge pins and bushings in!!! NO MORE SAGGYDOOR!!! WOOHOOO!!! I'm happy Can you tell?

If anyone has any questions about how its done, just ask away.

 

haha nice i did those back in fall on my blazer its pretty simple

 

I'm glad I bought the spring compressor! It would have been impossible to get it back in without it.

 

good to hear you got your doors fixed up properly.

 

Yup, the spring compressor makes it a straight forward replacement!

 

bah...i gotta do this procedure soon...

 

It's not a bad fix at all. Getting the new bushings in was the hardest part. I made a 'screw press' out of a 7/16 bolt and nutthree flat washersand a 14mm socket and pressed them in with that.
I had my dad and girlfriendhelping me. Shebalanced the doorwhile Dad and I fixed it.

 

Glad you got it fixed, mine look to be in excellent shape so im not worried about mine anytime soon thankgod!!

 

Another few months and the passenger side door is giong through the same procedure. Its sagging ever so slightly.

 

I finally installed mine on Thursday. It's strange now... I still anticipate the door dropping when I open it and lifting up when I shut it. I lucked out cause there was no egging.

It's one of those things that makes you wonder why it took so long to get around to doing.

Passenger side doesn't need it, yet. I will take care of it soon cause I can see the bushings are starting to go.

Wasn't hard to do at all. I'm gonna be sure to keep them well lubed from now on!
