door hinges (pins)

dah5point0 · 05-14-2001, 05:30 PM

I need to replace the hinges on my 89 GT. Only the ones on the drivers side, but I can't figure out what the best way to do it is. I'm guessing that I have to drill out the exsisting pins, or grind off the tops and knock them out. Any ideas?

Grinding off the tops and knocking them out is how I did it. If you can get a Dremmel tool in their with a cut-off wheel, that should work great.

use a dremmel all the way, but get the thicker cut off wheels, you will go through a bunch but it works, i tried a sawzall with metal blades but those were chewed up way to fast, so try the dremmel with a cut off or grinding wheel and then punch the pins out from either end, be sure to support the door with a floor jack using a rag of course so you dont scratch anything, well goodluck!

Use a fiberglass reinforced cut-off wheel.
