Door Hinge Pin/Bushing installation

[minifridge1138]

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to replace the pin and bushing on my doors, but i'm not having any luck.

How do you get the old pin and bushing out? Mine just do not want to move and I'm afraid that I'll break something if I do it wrong.

Thanks!!!!

Pin Replacement

You can do it with the doors on, cut the top pin in half then grind the top of the new pin so it looks like a "D" then you can get it to clear the door skin.
The old bushings come out pretty easily, the new ones take a little persuading. PG.

I was able to remove mine without cutting them. Tap them out from underneath with a tap and a small hammer. There is little there that you can hurt so bang away. I nicked up some paint but ib that area I really didn't care as it was easy to touch uo and not seen usually.

Tap the pins out first and then the bushings will come out easily.

I've got bushings and pins that I didn't use, went with complete hinges instead, interested in buying them?
