Re: Removing hinge pins
How I got in this mess in the first place is I used some break loose
when doing shocks. I should have flushed and lubricated but dumb mistakes remain dumb too long. I know, dumb using the break loose in the first place. |

Re: Removing hinge pins
If you ever do go for the door torx bolts you should be aware that the
coat of paint will make the hole seem at least one size smaller. Use that bit and it will just crush the paint and strip things. (learned that one the hard way....)

Re: Removing hinge pins
YOU DO NOT REMOVE THE PINS.
The pins are an integral part of the hinge for the doors. For the doors, remove the nut at the bottom of the pin (if there is one) and lift the doors off. The hinge that is attached to the door has the pin attached to it, and the hinge and its pin come off together. The hood is a hinge, sorta like a gate hinge. The hinge is unbolted from the hood and the cowling, and replaced as a unit.

Re: Removing hinge pins
After a big cottonwood ate my drivers side door, I pulled the door by
removing the 6 torx bolts that held the door to the hinge. Then I went to the junk yard and pulled a replacement door. Now I add one part to the "essential tools" if I ever have to pull another door: 6 new bolts with real heads I can get a wrench on! There is not enough space to get a rachet with the torx bit into the door opening for at least 3 of those bolts (unless the door is folded back by a tree). My salvation was a new pair of vise grips with sharp enough teeth to grab the heads of the torx bolts to work them out. I'm trying to think of a suitable torment for the guy who invented those @#$%^ torx heads - just plain Hell is letting him off easy!
