hi, i need to replace my upper door bushings ,,the doors sag a bit,,i would like to change both ,,any apecific types out there i should look for?..saw some on ebay...

I got a set of ebay. Just jackup door to make it level. Take old ones out, clean, install new ones. The bushing fits in a little way and self contained screw pull its all the way in. 2 bushings each pin. You don't have to remove door. First one took me 3 hours, others 45 min. I did upper and lower on both doors. The doors will be very tight for about 2 months, then fine.

you didn't remove the doors?...can you point out the ones you got on ebay?

I just looked the guy I bought them from has none listed. I paid $40 for the 2 doors.
They are just like these

I put grease fittings on mine.

you got a good price..they go for double that one door!...can you explain a little how you replaced the top ones without removing the door?...the bottom ones seem easier..thanks for your help.

Open door, place a jack under door (put a piece of wood between door(not on door skin) and jack). Jack door up, this keeps it in place. Use a dremel to grind down top of pin. Drive the pin out. Insert new bushing. Just make sure you get all the head cut away. You will be able to see the pin shaft where it goes through the hinge.

I forgot, I also redid the dented spring pin while everything was apart. You need a special tool to reinstall the spring.

ok,,good to know about the spring...this method is for the upper part?

LarryL

Yes, I did the top first.
