Is there a how to on removing and replacing the door pins? My guess it to grind the top of the pin off.?.

 

i need to do the same thing and will be very interested in learning the answer to this

my plan is to remove the door pins and put in quick release roll cage pins so i can run a set of tube doors and remove the doors quickly and put them on quickly

 

You can get new door pins in the HELP section at Advance, Orielly, A'zone etc.

I did this on my driverside door a few years ago. If I remember right, what I did was cut the pin and tap it out. I'll have to ask my dad what we did. We might have drilled the head out.

The new pin is easy to install and has a clip on it.

The new pin kit looks like this.

i've done door pins before and mine just tapped out with a hammer. I needed to re-align my doors afterwards.

 

Replace as soon as you can to avoid damage to the hinges. The PO of my truck could not get in without leaning on the door and never replaced the pins. Now the hinges are bad too and I have reach my arm out and lift up on the door to close it.

 

Cut the center of the pin w a sawzall then take the two halves out. As mentioned earlier, advanced has pins and bushings in the HELP section

 

I put in new pins and they lasted about 6 onths. Went to the junkyard and pulled good hinges off a different truck and haven't had a problem since. Have fun lining them up though. They are a PITA to get adjusted right, but that's how I'd do it. Just go pick up some off another truck that are in good shape. The pins I got were a total waste of time.

 

The HELP pins I got fixed it and its been great for several years. Did you replace the bushing too?

 

Pins? wher did you get them? I have only seen pins sold w bushings

 

I got them at the Help section of the auto store. They came with pins and bronze bushings. Never again. I could never get the bushings to seat right, and they popped out from time to time. Maybe I put them in wrong. But I do know that I haven't had any trouble whatsoever with the hinges I pulled off a junkyard truck.

 

you have to drill the hinges to accept the bushings
