Door hinge pins, 2001 Sonoma pickup

Hls 10 March 2005 20:03:56
 Hinge pins and bushings are worn on this relatively recent application
causing wind noise, rain leakage, poor closing of doors.

Are special tools required for this replacement, or is it a fairly simple
task.
Strangely enough, this is one I never had to tackle before.

Would appreciate any comments.

 I like to use one of those shop chairs that go hydraulicly up & down.
They are cushioned so don't hurt the paint & infinitely adjustable so
realigning the door is a snap. Not everyone has that convenience just
sitting around so use a floor jack, a foot or so of 2x4 & a friend to
balance it all & you accomplish the same thing. The bushings themselves
are just a hammer & punch thing, nothing special there. Good luck.

 Forgot about the spring, must be a chevy, they make a compressor for
this job but you can accomplish compressing the spring another way. Put
it in a vise, squeeze it together & strap it down with 3 or 4 zip ties,
put it in place & cut the ties. A little tricky but can be done with a
little finesse. I wouldn't onbolt any hinges, you shouldn't have to &
your alignment won't be disturbed.

Thanks for your help.
The zip tie trick has worked for me before on springs that were not so
strong
that the ties would hold.

I\m not sure that the old pins can be removed and the new bushings put into
place without removing the hinges, but it is worth taking a second look. To
take the door off, I will have to remove the upholstery panel to take the
stereo wires loose and this could be the most disagreeable part of the job.
