Door pins and bushings

Sorry if this has been posted before, but what would be the best way to go about changing my door hinges? Should I pull off the whole door, and change both hinges, or get new pins and bushings? Because my drivers door drags against my rocker moulding when I close/open it, and it drives me nuts..

save some mony and just order the pin and bushing kit from Top_down solutions. I just did this to my car and it worked like a charm.

How long were they rubbing??If the bushings were worn for a while you may have to weld the bushing holes shut and redrill them<otherwise the bushing will fit to loosely.Change the top bushing also it wont last very long with the new lower.
