Thanks for the maintenance reminder, guys.

I just went outside and oiled all my pins.

My doors don't sag, but I oil 'em occasionally.

check the help section at the autoparts store! u know maybe they are not serviceable. dang new disposable trucks.

getting a new hinge wouldnt be painted to match i wouldnt think.. i think you would have to paint them. wow that would be expensive sag fix

That's what mine look like , there is no retainer clip to pull.

Anyone have any more info on this?

You can also stick a jack under the door when it's open about 4" and jack it beyond its limits to tweak it back up. Not glamorous by any means, but works for work trucks that don't have any business getting new pins done. Something to consider. Not endorsed by me.

On my brothers bronco we had to drill the head of the pin before it could be hammered out with a punch. A tip I have for you is to mask the edges of your door and fender with a good thick tape or 2 layers of masking tape. Also be mindful of your windshield when hammering on a punch. Replacement pins typically have the retainer clips.
