Door hinge pin replacement - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey all. I've seen posts regarding door hinge pin replacement before and it sounded like it wasn't a big deal, but I beat on mine last night for about an hour and it wouldn't budge. The end isn't flattened and I jacked up the door a little to support it, but no cigar. I'll have to take the door off and press it out. As long as I mark the hinge location on the door, there shouldn't be a problem getting it back right, right?

mark very very carefully, and do everything you can to make sure u can get it back in the right pos, cuz aligning doors is no fun if you dnt know how to do it, I tryed and couldn't, ended up having a body shop do it for me

Low Truck i assume you are saying you cant get the old one out right? what i had to do was take a grinder or you can use whatever you have and cut the pin in the middle.
