Re: XJ Door Hinge - I'm in trouble!
Thanks Mort - I never thought to try them for two reasons. 1. they're across
the city 2. they're not competitive price-wise. I'm more than willing to go
out of my way and pay a bit extra for PB... everybody swears by it in here
but nobody in town has ever heard of it (or at least they say so and then
push their product).

Re: XJ Door Hinge - I'm in trouble!
Blue wrench to the rescue. Tried propane on but couldn't get it hot enough.
Took the hinge down the street to a local machine shop... he tried drilling
it out, no luck. Put the torches to it til it was cherry and beat the bin
out with a punch. Bent the punch too! Everything is back together and I'm
going to leak test the door at the car wash.
Thanks for the ideas guys!

Took the hinge down the street to a local machine shop... he tried drilling
it out, no luck. Put the torches to it til it was cherry and beat the bin
out with a punch. Bent the punch too! Everything is back together and I'm
going to leak test the door at the car wash.
Thanks for the ideas guys!

Blue wrench to the rescue. Tried propane on but couldn't get it hot enough.
