Door Hinge Pin Replacement | 1992-1999 Chevy GMC Suburban Tahoe Yukon Sierra Silverado 

I used dorman bushings a month after seeing this video they went out a year later so went with cunninghammachine bushings and haven’t had a problem yet

You are the only person on youtube to let us know which way the bushing goes body hinge and door hinge Great job Pretty wife and sweet baby in the background.

I used an engine hoist with a rolled towel around the top of the window frame and lifted up slightly to hold my door so I could do this by my lonesome :D

I used ratchet scraps tied around the door and hanging from my garage trusses. I was able to do it alone and there was no binding of the pins so the went in and out without difficulty. I appreciate the video as i used all your other tips!

Dude, you're the man! I'm fixing my 97 K1500 using your video as instructive guide.

i appreciate that you went over the process afterward, explaining the nuances of the procedure. We appreciate that you took the time to make this video, it was important to me because my work truck was basically unusable? i couldn"t really close the door, plus while my lady was driving it , door swung open , awg so i got it thanks to you and your wife

Thanks to you, my 95 K1500 truck is running like a top. I’ve followed almost all of your videos. Thank you again.

Awesome video. The first 4 videos in my search we're professionally made but nowhere near as descriptive with no closeups whatsoever. Great job. Very helpful.

This was super helpful and made the task easy. Removing the bushings was a little consuming but nothing crazy. Thanks a lot.

This is by far the best video I have viewed on changing the door pins and the springs.

This is the best video I’ve found for this job. Thanks.

Thank you so much for all of this. My '99 Tahoe definitely needs this done asap.

You offer simple and easy to follow instructions, and show all steps - thank you for sharing. :)

Just replaced mine as well, and put in a new center pin (that the spring presses on). A dremel tool with cut off wheels & sanding drums is A MUST HAVE!

Your helper sure is patient.

Thanks for the video, my '95 suburban had the door sag really bad. I used a hammer drill, pins and clips popped right out like in 5 seconds!

The best video on this procedure! Very similar to the square body trucks that have this same issue. I have a '97 Silverado that has a sagging drivers door. I'll be doing this soon.

Thanks for putting up this video. I've a 95 k1500 and 96 c1500 both needing what you just did. Now I have known what to do. Again thanks!

Longtime NO SEE, Great Block of Instruction.

This video really helps. Thank you. I am going to replace mine soon.

Thank you so much for this! I've been trying to figure out if I can do this myself (I have multiple disability issues) and I'm going to have to let someone whose shoulders don't dislocate do it. But now I know all the components and what time goes into it so I can tell them what I need and not have anyone try to rip me off at a shop for labor and parts, so I thank you very much for that! As an aside, both you and your wife are lovely people. I reckon that's a very good looking baby I hear in the background. Thanks again!

It is easier to put the bushings on with a nut and bolt and some washers u just tighten down and they go in easy and a lot less beating and mangling of the lip of the bushings

I saw your video to learn how to remove the door on my truck because I need to set a replacement door because I had a wreck. That was so help full for me to do that my self. Thanks !.. have a good day Have New Year's 2021

Good video. Watch entirely. I didn't remove clips, just drove stock pins out and the clips fell off. 6 degree driveway so can't use jack but had lumber rack. Ratchet strapped board to rack and hung door with 2 straps. One at the top and one to carry weight around whole door. Did whole job by myself, no help. Some kits are not bronze bushings. Very hard brittle metal. Don't beat on them. Press them in carefully checking for parallelism. I greased all of them and pin to reduce wear. The very top bushing carries the entire weight of door while bushing/pin bore keeps door straight. Your old top bushing flanges will be worn down or gone. Grease both contact surfaces before putting door back on to reduce future wear. If you forget use a spray lube to lubricate yearly. While apart check door detent roller for smooth operation. If sticky use a penetrating spray and free them up so they spin freely. Soak them good to wash out gunk and then spray in a grease. I didn't have spring compressor at time of install. Springs pop out easy and expand in confinement. Use a big screw driver to keep fingers away. Will install spring later when tool comes in. I installed these springs on an old work truck with a flat bar. My current truck is a asphalt princess with a nice paint job so will wait. Both doors done in about 1.5 hours. Allow for more. Thanks again for video. Great refresher. Cheers!

just found your video was thinking i was gonna have to replace the entire hinge.thumbs up from me.

Wait, you can’t just do one pin at a time? Back in the 80’s at the shop, we were removing and installing the bottom pin first, then moved on to the top pin. Were we doing it all wrong? Haha. I remember it like it was yesterday, no need for anyone to hold the door, not even a stand/ jack. I’m not criticizing, nor mocking anyone, just pointing out that I was a certified mechanic and I never knew we were supposed to remove them both before beginning to reinstall them. Thank you for sharing, brother, awesome job.

Excellent video. Very well documented. A+ Thank you!!!

Thanks man. Also thanks to your wife. What a sport.

Thanks for this video. Appreciate you taking the effort.

excelente lo felicito, la mejor explicación sobre este trabajo. He visto muchos videos y este es el mejor !!!

Good video. 2 quick notes. You don't need to go only for the pins. Any auto parts should carry them. 2nd when reinstalling the compressed spring try closing the door as much to get the extra room.

All you need is a two by four to fix it. Look it up for yourself I promise it works. Put the Two by four in the bottom hinge then shut the door slowly a few times. Then check it. If it's not aligned do it again until it is aligned. It pulls the metal back out from the dent that occurs from the weight of the door. Look for the video it's on RU-vid it works like a charm.

Great job bro I appreciate the video!

Very very useful info. Saving this

How did you put the little black clips got my spring back in and both pins?

Thank you for an excellent video and clear instructions.

Fantastic video bud! Thanks!

Hello 1 Road. I've owned my 95 Chevy Suburban for just a little over two years now and my wife is about to kill me because of the driver door hanging and flopping around and never closing fully. Thank you for sharing a video on how to easily do this job for the doors and a headache relief from the wife.

Good video. Very helpful. Thanks.

Great videos and very helpful. I know this video is on the door hinge pin removal and install, but are there any helpful tips on removing the hinge pins on the barn doors on the back. Just got my 94 Chevy Suburban painted and a week later someone broke out my rear window. Trying to replace the barn completely since the cost of the window is way higher than a junkyard door. Any tips and tricks without ordering a specialty tool? Thanks

Thank you. My Tahoe needs these done badly.

Great video I really like your combination tools Once upon a time I bought a brand new Victor cutting torch and I looked over my friend was using it As a hammer Because he didn't know how to cut a piece of steel always use the right tool for the job and I'll always remember there's no problem on planet Earth too big that high explosive Can't fix

man I've been slamming the hell out of my door for years,i think i will continue for a while,thats a lot of stuff to do,i mean not really but I've got too much going on right now with it.its a 95 gmc Z71 I've had it for 17 years and I'm doing some touching up,new body mold trim ordered off of amazon,for sides and front bumper,full brake job front and back,repaint the frame with some POR. and so on.gotta make it look good for another 20 years haha.i put a new engine and tranny in it myself so i know i can handle this,just not now,thanks for the great video man.

Nice video, only thing I can add is if you have an oil can and mix 75% oil and 25% STP and oil those bushings once every year or two they will last forever.

my door is jacked because of the little roller to the right of the pin that you are replacing. anyone know what it is called?

Thanks for this video!

Nice job getting ready to do.mine on my 98 Sierra. The only thing I suggest is putting some grease on the pin where it goes through the bushing to eliminate future squeeks and hangups. No grease is what wears out the bushing metal to.metal rubbing. The bushings are brass but will.still wear out.

thank you, great video, educational.....

If thpat top b olt is missing will the door sag?

My weather stripping/gasket between the door and a pillar makes a lot of noise when I'm going +70MPH, would this fix this or has anyone else experienced this?

very informative. thank you.

Great video Jimmy. Where do you get that spring compressor tool at?

Amigo cómo estás? muy bueno tu video, seguí las intrucciones paso a paso. Qué bueno que tienes una esposa que te syuda, porque en estos tiempos es dificil encontrar una esposa qué ayude a uno. Saludos desde Oregon.

Do you ned to file the holes for the bushings?????

Great video. I got a estimate for having them changed at a body shop $421! I'll follow your video. Thanks again.

I just did mine and it seemed a lot easier to pull the wiring harnesses out of the truck side, unplug them, and then just take the door completely off. Made taking out and installing the bushings a lot easier. Just my experience.

Thank you sir! . Very helpful

Good work men

Is this what you do when your suburban door keeps popping loudly and as you pull on it to close it? You don't need to replace the whole bracket, just the pin? tia

I've done a bunch of these, and I can say this is a VERY good tutorial!!! Good Luck, and fer sure, get the door spring tool!!

Thank you sir. Was helpful

Very good video, thank you! 👏

Need an opinion, I just replaced my pins and bushings and it was a pain in the ass! Have you ever tried shim eze?? I’m curious about this product and wondering if it would prevent my pins and bushings from wearing out again.... any one with info or input... I’d greatly appreciate it!

The hardest part for me was putting the spring back in. I hated having to do that.

if the striker is being worn away, would be a good idea to replace it?

I recommend wearing safety glasses and lubing everything when you're done.

Great job!! Thanks!!,

Where did you find the spring compressor?

I replaced mine pins and bushing and it still wont close right anyone else have this issue?? How did you fix it

My bushings are wore out I safety wired upper pin. No spring in drivers door

The pin and bushing kits that Autozone sells off the peg board (38416) have bushings that break every time you try to press them into the hinges. This morning I went through 4 kits just to get ONE new upper bushing in. The bottom one broke every time. I finally gave up trying to replace them all. I think I'll find a different brand that actually FIT in the holes.

Great video. Thanks. Peace.

Great video love you shows- please can you tell me where to find that SPRING TENSIONER TOOL I can’t find it nowhere- thanks

Muchas gracias por tu Vídeo. Yo mismo se lo haré a Mi Suburban 1998. Saludos desde Tijuana.

My wife has a 1999 GMC Yukon. I had to replace the bushings 4 times in the past year. The ones that the Auto Zone sells me are plastic. After a few months they crack? Where can I get metal ones from?

Well done

Use Cunningham Machine pins & bushings bushings are graphite bronze. Once and done.they have excellent pins too.😅😊

Thanks I needed that. I am left wondering if it would not be easier to do just one hinge at a time. seems it may make you able to do it with out the jack and maybe even the helper. There may well be a good reason for doing your way if there is please school me.

Where do we get the spring compressor??

thanks for the help here

How did you get the lock washers on? I’ve had the hardest time and can’t get it on.

Where can i buy that spring removal tool ?

Thanks buddy!

Were did u get the spring tool?

nice work mate i need make the same on my suburban 95 cheers from norway

That was so helpful. It made it gravy for me with that information brother gave me. Two thumbs up for sure! 🙏

THANK YOUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!

Good job! My 92 sierra door hing pins should be looked at. I did notice that the door "stay open" bearing on my truck's driver's side is tilted. Looks like I will be making a spring compressor gadget for that. It might just need to be knocked back in place. My wife cannot hold my truck's door. Possibly it could be held up by ropes with jack underneath. Also, other truck stuff.. the fuel pump 12 volts goes through the oil pressure switch, located behind the distributor on my 92 GMC Sierra! Guess how I found that out!! Check out my how to do a clutch, U joints. Thanks for the link.

Great video! But, Id like to offer my 2 cents...are we sure the bushings are installed correctly? I don't have the answer. BUT, I have watched several videos covering this job and some say do it the way you did and others say both sets of bushings go in the body side of the hinge. Also, are we sure the flanges for the bushings are oriented correctly? Again, I don't have the answer....?

LOL at 8:15 the last time I helped you I got electrocuted!

Nice video, about to do this to my mom and dad's 95 k1500. Btw, were you a SEAL? Saw the awesome poster on the back wall.

It would be nice if you also show how to replace the roller pin hinge. All three pins. I think the roller pin has to be be cut off but not sure.

Awesome video bro. My 2D tahoe driver side door is jacked up...lol, I'm betting this is why. So can they be changed one at a time with one person??? Those pins come one in each package, correct? Thanks.

"drive her home" i'll bet you enjoy that alot lucky guy

Would it be possible to swap out one pin at a time rather than remove both first? If done that way could it be a one person job?

where do you get that spring tool , that is what i need to install the spring ! man

Wanna help me work on my car again? I don't think so Tim! Last time I got electrocuted! Like watching Home Improvement again! Lol!

My issue is not either of those pins. It's the OTHER "pin" on the top hinge. It's broken and I can't find a tutorial on it anywhere. I'm desperate. I have a 1995 gmc 2500 pickup.

LOL my wife is always willing and helping me in the garage. No, it's more like, are you done already? Can i leave? The food is going to burn.... etc.

Any time you are using a spring compressor you need to be wearing safety glasses. If the stored energy in that spring were suddenly released, the spring would fly like bottle rocket and if it hit you in the eye.......bye, bye eye. Don't take chances with your eyes.
