Door hinge binding problem

Carl McIver 19 March 2005 10:32:32
 My wife's '74 Super has a problem with the passenger door hinge. It
binds and makes it hard to close the door. I've had the door completely off
the car and attempted to drive out the pin with no luck. One of the hinges
is just plain hard to move. I've managed to get some lubricants down into
the hinge, but they never stay long enough to stop messing with it. The oil
is leaving ugly marks in the area, which neither of us cares for.
Solutions?

New wife?

Okay that was mean. Is the door bent or the body? Maybe fit some shims
under the hinge? I swapped out the door on my 70 after it was whacked by
an idiot in a van but it was just a straight replacement with no tweaking
needed.

If you absolutely can't get the pin out (air chisel),
use a torch to heat the hinge. That will expand it enough
to get it freed up to where you can get lube in.
I know; it's extreme and you have to use care not to
ruin the paint...

I swear I'm not trying to start trouble, but that was pretty funny.

Last time I had the door off I didn't have any air tools or an air
compressor, but now I do. However, driving into the pin inside a hole
causes me more concern about swelling the pin at the drive point, further
screwing me. My wife will not approve, by any means, heating the hinge
(original paint) so the only thing that comes to mind is a press of some
kind, but I've already chipped the paint using a kludged ball joint press
tool arrangement. Does anyone have any thoughts on a press idea that might
be able to do the job?

UMmmm. What was it we tried not to do again? This must have been the

Buy A New Door??????????? With hinges on it already and have it
painted to match.

I have a whole bunch but not terribly interested in shipping them.
They're a PITA to package well enough to make a journey anywahere in
one piece.

Location?????
