Title: Might cut the door off....
Post by: omegod on 09 August 2009, 12:14:50

Unless someone has a genius way of getting the hinge pins out!!!

Trying to replace a rusty rear door with a good one and have it stripped and ready to come off but it wont.

I have a draper pin extractor which I think I am using the right way

However the buggers wont budge at all despite oiling them last night, due to the access I cant get access with a drift to knock them through and dont really want to resort to the grinder for the sake of my lovely leather and surrounding paintwork.

Any ideas ?

Try hit it the wrong direction to start with, it'll break any shi1te that's holding onto the pin allowing it to hopefully be pulled out. It worked for me!  :y  :y


but I used a home made pin puller  ;) I hooked this around the flaired bit of the pin & hit it!  ;D ......
