Need door adjusting wrench
Who makes a good wrench for adjusting doors on the OBS.
I have a 1997 f350 crew cab with a saggy drivers side door. It was fine till a wind storm ripped the door out of my hand and sprung the hinges a bit.

The best way to fix it is to decide upper or lower , ,or both (look for a gap at the pillar). With the door open , find a piece of steel ,a socket or other ,that will fit in the hinge(keep it on the hinge surfaces only) & keep the door from closing . With the hinge blocked open , try closing the door a little at a time ,while watching the gap at the pillar ..A few tries may be necessary, using the door for leverage .Don't over do it ...
The hinges are most likely fine ,its the surface of the A pillar that's bent

Nope, Got lucky there.
Anybody know what crazy shaped box end wrench will best reach the hinge bolts. I'm sure to need some fine adjustments for proper latching.
