Nice article, but it does contain some significant errors. For example; A quote from the article,
"Here is our original hinge and the hinge kit. The long pin (note the retaining clip toward the top) and two bushings are for the bottom hinge (pictured). The shorter pins and the other two bushings are for the upper hinge. Our upper hinge was in good shape, so we left it alone."
"The shorter pins and the other two bushings are for the upper hinge" Are in fact two door detent roller pins, and two lower hinge pin bushings. They are NOT upper door hinge pins.

Too bad they didn't show an example of the upper hinge. I could've loaned them my car. (Got a few inches of play at the latch-end of the door, picked the end of the door up and lifted- wow.)
