Has anyone ever replaced there door hinge pins and bushing,so far i have ruined 3 sets of bushings trying several different way to get them to fit back in the hole. My door was severly miss aligned thats why im replacing them. Any help here would be grand.. My last step before I can move it back out of the barn before the roof collapses.
Thanks,
MIKE

Could not adjust.
the actual pins had rusted and worn the brass bushing out. im going to try heating the hole they fit in maybe that will help

The first 2 set i bought from NAPA, the package just said nissan, the pins are the same, the bushings look to be the same but no success on getting them in. Im going to the dealer soon to order the correct ones, only around $2.50 a piece, so not bad.

I live in Cambridge, around 20 miles from zanesville.
