If anyone plans on doing this at home do NOT USE DORMAN BUSHINGS YOU WILL END UP WITH THEM CRUMBLING APART!!!

This helped me a ton. What I didn’t know was how weak the brass bushings are from dorman as I cracked one of the new ones installing it

Its nice to see a Professional do the work with detailed instructions. I knew you were a Pro when I saw you using brass punches the way it should be done.

My compliments. Clear, concise, good camera angles and explanations.

I just did this after watching your video. Thanks for your help. I have two garage doors close together. I backed the truck in till the door was under two garage door rails by the support. I used two ratchet straps along over the rail with the jack underneath similar to the way you did it. I also used a 1/4” bolt with washers and a socket to press the bushings in.

While this guy got lucky, I would highly advise against hammering in the bushings, because they shatter easier than your hopes and dreams! Use a bolt and nut to "pull" them in squarely.

Going to do this today! Thank you guys! I wish there was a video on how to change out the Blend Door Actuator 😬

This video was GREAT. Thanks for all the step-by-step instructions and close-up shots of the actual replacements.

Best hinge pin video I've seen out of the three watched Thank you

Just wanted to say thank you for a great video. Just completed this job and your guide made all the difference.

Video helped, just changed mine with parts suggested. Unfortunately the new door hinge pin with the roll bearing was too big and wouldn't fit so I had to reuse the old one. Still works but quality control failed me on that one.

Thank you for making this video. I found it excellent and it reassured me that I can do it properly.

I got great bushings from Cunningham machine and tool to install great company great stuff

Idk wher you got your kit but the ones in your link are exactly like Dorman. They were like they’ve been made of clay.

This RU-vid channel is the best

great video you just taught me how to do my own doors I really appreciate it

Great vid. Much better than the others I wasted time watching. I just wonder why you're used the Pin retainer? My parts came with new ones.

Loved the video helped me install my Cunningham machine parts

This is how you make an instructional video.

Bought a pair, the bushings were some type of brittle pot metal. Did not last. Where do you get parts with quality bushings?

So what to do next if the door is floppy as described at the end?

Hey @TRQ can i use the exact same pieces you uses in this videos to fix a 1988 chevorlet c1500 door hinge

Is that the same spring compressor tool you would use on a 2004 Buick Regal? What about the process?

That was excellent!! Thank you!

Does it apply to Suburbans of the same year

Is it a good idea to put grease on the inside of those bushings before driving the pins in?

Thanks for uploading, please restock the kits

Hey it's the 1A auto guy

Confused me because the bushings go in one side of the body and one side of the door but after I figured that out it was easy. Bought a 20$ set off Amazon and they came with everything and worked fine, fixed my door sag and it rubbing on the bottom of my cab. Thankfully my holes were not wore out but if they are for anyone else, get oversized pins off the internet (cost more 100$) and hammer them in.

Your roller pin went in way too easy. I hammered for hours before grinding some splines to get it to finally fit. I even used a tapered sanding roll in the hole first to clean out any burrs and help the install. Gonna fabricate a press tool for the other side. Other than that, it’s a simple process.

well done Brofessor, I love that, i'm smiling but still super angry and may hurt you vibe.

Yes very nice video, I'll be ordering parts soon.

Where can I get that spring compressor? Or one that small

Thank you your video has VERY HELPFUL. 👍🤝

I could of figured it out but just watching a video on it before going in just is the mandalorian way lol😅

How much is labor for this job per door or for both ?

Need a tool like that. Compress spring.

I need that spring compressing tool...anyone know the proper name of that tool been trying look it up to buy one and cant find it?

Awesome video thanks

I wish there was more focus on the cam roller pin. Mine appears to be flared/staked at the top, so I’m thinking there’s going to be a Sawzall involved.

Where they regular bushing kit or heavy duty

Please sort of video I learned something appreciate it

I bet changing the top one solves the issue. Seems to be the one that's always worn out.

Thank you sir!

Surely this can be done without removing the spring

Even with that tool to compress the spring I can get it to fit

I need the spring tool name please

I liked this video! To the point and easy to follow. TY

The save yourself a lot of this work if you oil to your hinges on a regular basis

I like how a replacement door striker doesn't exsist :/

Great. Good Job. I subscribed. Make more.

What if I don't have a door spring

Wow y’all the best #MadmikescustomDaily #RU-vid #TRQ

Very well explained. Thank you

You’re a harbor freight man; the wire brush gave you away. No shame. I’ve got the same one.

Thanks

Don’t use dorman hinge pin kits either!!! The bushings are copper and they just crumble!!! I don’t get why they are so crappy

En donde las consigo en Ecuador

Have never seen a hinge pin clip as shown

I tried your directions- watched your video many times - not so good - bushings shatterd when tried to put it an didn't really tap on them like u did - the wiring boot is right in the way an difficult to work around - the jack had to be moved up an down many times- overall nothing happened like it did for you- nothing- left it an gonna take to a bodyshop- learned my lesson about utube videos

Yes never turn spring toward your face, as he does. lol

I bought these and they didn’t fit my truck

Bet they didn’t last 3 months using a hammer to knock those bushings in.

Do not buy cheap bushings. Ac delco or cuningham machine are the only ones that dont crumble when you look at them

TRQ makes good videos but has extremely poor quality parts. If you want to have to do the job twice, try TRQ first.

Bro got that ChrisFix energy lol
