Re: XJ Door Hinge - I'm in trouble!
 

Hey Mort,
Picked up some PB today from the Clark Rd. store. $6.40 for 12oz can. Bought
some other items as well, the Manager (Mike Overholt) was VERY helpful and I
think he was giving me trade prices.

4 cans of PB
5 recip-saw metal blades
1 4.5" cutting disc
1 chipping (welding) hammer
Just over $60 tax included.

This was a much better experience than my first visit... I was getting the
"if you have to ask how much it is...." type of attitude and I think the guy
was making up prices on-the-fly. With Mike, I'd ask for a price and he'd ask
"how many?".

Thanks for mentioning Fastenal, I'll be shopping there more often.

Re: XJ Door Hinge - I'm in trouble!
 

Not a problem. The pricing structures changed in the summer/fall so
it's more uniform now. I'm glad you're happy. If you ever want to buy
something pricey there let me know and I can tell you what range you
should be paying.

Hi Brian - I went through this a couple of years ago, with about the
same struggle you had. Finally sawed partway through one section of
the hinge in a spot where the weight of the door wouldn't cause
problems, drove a chisel into the sawcut, and got the remains of the
pin out. However, I could *not* get the factory hinge pin set to
install properly, even in a hinge which I didn't use the saw on -
there's a sort of plastic or wire mesh sleeve included, which I
demolish trying to insert it, and without it, there's too much
clearance between the pin and the bushings. But! What I wound up using
was even cheaper (versus welding on whole new hinges - why would you
buy a new hinge assembly, when all you need is a pin?) - steel roll
pins (spring pins)! Can't recall the length and diameter offhand, but
that's what was in there before I started the job, and that's what was
in there when I finished. Cost = about $2 at Canadian Tire. Been
working just fine ever since.
