Door pins

[Davemate]

I need to replace the pins on the drivers door.
Door off or can they be changed with door in place by banging the old pin out with the new pin as it goes in ?

Sorry for the sudden asking of lots of questions

They can be a right sod to get out sometimes.

Door off for access.

Do the pins come upwards or downwards

[JimEB]

From memory (last did one nearly 20 years ago!), they drift out upwards. Come to think of it, if they were fitted from beneath, they'd eventually drop out... ;)

[Davemate]

That's a logical theory Jim

Yep which makes the front bottom one a pig to remove as the sill is in the way.

Usually the top one wears/breaks.

There are copper/brass washers installed as well and small grooves for oil/grease to be applied in the hinges.   ;D
