I got the pin out, after an hour long ordeal of hell, how do I get the broken bushings out, so I can change them?

Unbolt the top hinge, it has one bolt with no slot ( at this time youll need a door holder, got mine for 79 bucks from harbor freight, has a crank up jack on the bottom, works well if you are alone in hell) You probably want to pry up and remove the detent wheel, and replace it and the stud its on. I bought everything I needed for a lil over 100 dollars ( spring compressor, and pin installer, and bushing remover and 2 sets of pins, bushing and detent rollers for TDS ( a sponsor on right) . I did need some heat to get the detent roller pin out. The door pins I cut in half with a small air saw. before removal I took off the 1 way clip which just snaps on and removed pin. After I was all done I noticed the actual part on door ( lower) was worn, and there is no bushing there. put dorr holder under door and gave it some support ( put pin in correct location in the sloppy door hinge) and mig welded pin to the bottom door hing ( car side) lube it and works well now.
I have done it without, but The stuff from TDS really made the job much less ugly and alot less agravation. Since I did mine and few saw it I was offered 200 to fix a guy's I dont even know, that easily paid for the tools.
Good luck!
