Door Hinge HELL. Need help bad.
No matter what, this door hinge bolt will not come off this 51.
So far
I broke two door hinge pullers trying to press it out
2. broke two Drill Bits
3. Broke a metal punch trying to hammer the hinge pin out
4. Used heat
5. Spread several days with penetrant
6. used Wax
7. Drilled
Nothing, nada, Zilch. It will not budge
I got all the hinge pins out except this one.
What the hell should I do? ALSO
once you get to hinges off to pull the door
how do you disengage that sliding middle peace.
Also who sells the hinges for the doors if i completely damage them.
This is frustrating. I can't beleive this small piece is giving me soo much hell.

I had a terrible time with mine too. I drilled from the bottom, after breaking off the first bit inside the hole, I drilled from the top. Try using about an 1/8" bit for starters, you can steer it a little. Drive out the broken bit when you get the hole drilled that far. Good luck on the hinge itself, I have never seen these in any catalogs, maybe a junkyard run for that part, I think they are welded on also. Jim, 49 f-3
