Door Hinge Repair Kit
 
Anyone use one of these hinge repair kits with the new pin and two bushings? If so what is the best way to remove old hinge pins?

1st, get a friend to help. If you have a die grinder or similar (dremel) tool, get them and some good heavy duty grider bits. Grind the heads off the original pins, and use a steel punch to punch out the pins (lots of bangin, be careful!). Have your friend hold the door, with a jack on the bottom to take most of the weight. Put the new pins in (top one had to go in upside down on my 93 GT) and use the hair-pin style clips to keep em in. Door doesn't sag any more and closes like new.
