Re: Replaced Door Pin's and Bushings Today
The best deal I could find on the pin/bushing set was at Rockauto.com at $3.72 per set. (two sets per door, plus shipping for $13) I found this AFTER I paid $25 rip-off at the Chevy dealer.
No way are these parts worth anything more than what Rockauto charges. Good thread though....I'll be doing mine this weekend.  |

Took my time on the first, and got expert for the second, and quickly chiseled the paint from the door edge on the front fender corner.  Take your time. |

Re: Replaced Door Pin's and Bushings Today
I found another way without the helper.
I put 2 of those harbor freight ratchet nylon straps under the top of the door and suspended from my garage beam parallel to the door when open. Was able to gently pull the door away and let it hang there with wires still attached. The door is still not aligned at the pin strips and has to move up at the striker when closed. I am going to pull the top pin down 1/2 inch and lift door and put a washer or two above the head of the bushing, this will raise the door a little. R |

Re: Replaced Door Pin's and Bushings Today
Replaced my bushings Saturday without a helper. It went smoothly thanks to this excellent thread ! I supported the door top using a block and tackle, then moved it back and forth with a floor jack. Thanks for the great info.

Re: Replaced Door Pin's and Bushings Today
How do you replace the entire hinge on a 2001 s10, holes are egged out and bushings just fall out?

Re: Replaced Door Pin's and Bushings Today
You do not replace the whole hinge,it is welded to the door from the factory and replacing the whole hinge is a pain in the butt to do.You can get just the pins and bushings at most parts stores.A special tool is required for the spring between the door and the body,a compressing tool which you use a 1/2" wrench with
