Door hinge pins for sagging doors....
Hey guys, I bought new door hinge pins for the lower hinge on our doors and was wondering how any of you guys installed these? I know there has been someone who has done this. How long did it take you? Thanks a bunch! Eric

I just did this since I put power windows and doors in my ride so I swapped the whole doors and replaced those pins and bushings.
For time, it depends on the condition of your current pins and bushings. If they are worn out like they were on my 83 it will be a breeze. I used vice grips and attached them to the pin and just hammered them out. It helps to put a jack under the door to make it easy to raise and lower the door when needed. If your bushings are still there make sure you get some PB blaster! Helps out alot. On my 84 the bushings were still intact so it took a little longer. I would say it would only take an hour or two. Make sure you get a spring compresor for the springs in the door. You can use a screwdriver to take them out but I dont know how you would get them back in.
