hinge pins & bushings


PETEPONTIAC-1

Recommended Posts

Is there a video on how to replace a door hinge pin and bushings. I did check You tube, but nothing for older cars.

I have the pins and bushings but there NO instructions how to replace them.

This is for my 1938 Pontiac.

Even a diagram of how to do it will be helpful . The order of the pin and bushings ?

THANK YOU  P.P.

I removed both hinges from my 12 Buick and had a friend concentrically bore the worn holes on his milling machine.  In my case, we replaced the hinge pins to fit the new holes.  You could do the same for your new bushings.  It is important to bore the hinges to be concentric with the original holes.  Otherwise, the door may bind and/or not close & latch correctly.
