Removing seized/stuck door hinge pins?

[pointz]

Car is going back to body shop friday and he has asked me to try remove the door (im helping with the prep)

However when it was in the bodyshop before the guy that works there couldnt remove the pins!

Can you not remove the whole hinge from the car?

I would however my skirts are bonded to my wings and smoothed in so can't remove the wing unfortunately!

[Sean-B]

Can't you get at the hinge bolts by removing the arch lining?

[Chriscooke]

I removed the door on the 14 with the wing on but not sure if it's the same on the 13

I will have a look at doing it this way this lunchtime! Thanks

So i can just about get a spanner to the bottom hinge and have managed to get the top pin moving.
Ordered some new pins from nissan with bushings!

Ghanks for the ideas

Next question! How do i remove the little brass bushings from the hinge??

[pointz]

Really do with some tips on removing the bushings from the hinge as doors being painted tomorrow!

I thought about drilling them out but don't think i will get the drill in there square.

drill and tap them. then use a slide hammer on the bolt?

Problem is the profile of the door makes it very difficult to get to the top one with any tool etc

Can you turn up a drift that is the right diameter and just tap them out ? Maybe use some quick heat to get them to separate.

As a last resort, I'd try a chisel down one side to loosen the brass then the drift.

Is there an engineering shop that could help you out ? They will knows a variety of tricks for fixing such problems.

Rich, don't suppose you happen to have the part numbers handy do you? What was the rough cost of the pins and bushings? My drivers door has dropped slightly so I'm going to replace the whole lot I think.

I have mate give me a pm on fb and i will send them over!

I couldn't remove the bushings and the new pins were a tight fit with the old bushings, so you can have the bushes off me cheaper if you need
