support the door with a jack. removeing only ONE at a time. cut the pin and remove old pin, and old bushings. install new bushings. lube the pin up real well and drive it in the bushings until the splines match the splines in the bushings. repeat in the other hinge

I cut the pins with a air cut off wheel. But use what ever you can where you can. You have to becouse the factor swedged the pin at the top

that's how I did mine. I left my door closed.took off the hinge (3 bolts on door, 3 on body) cut the pin in the center, and pulled the top out the top and the bottom out the bottom.

ok, so need to first take off hinge from door and body, then replace pin. I think I understand now. I thought I was replacing pin with hinge still attached to car. When you put hinge back on, was there any adjustment that had to be made?
