Hinge Pins and Bushes

[BillsGU]

How you get the old ones out?
Looked at mine recently and bought a whole set of hinges as the pins are peened over thus requiring grinding.

You take the hinge off - grind off the bottom of the pin - punch the pin out - separate the two parts of the hinge - cut the tops off the bushes - punch out the old bushes - press in new bushes - put the new pin in - and you are done!

Sounds a bit complicated but it's not.

The only thing that surprised me was the weight of the door. No wonder the hinges wear.

At a cost of around $20 for four pin / bush sets (it will do two doors) - it's a bargain.
