Re: New member.
Ah you don't need that, cut the head of a suitably sized bolt that is undersized to the roll pin hole and use a punch to knock it the bolt through and then it all falls out the bottom. Took less than ten mins a side to get my front doors off.MCHUDD wrote:Hi Tony.

Re: New member.
Awesome work. I think it took me about 10 weeks when I used various hinge pin removal tools. A set of flat-ended punches with a heavy hammer does the job well if you trim off the bits of the pin as they emerge from the hole at the bottom with a dremel.
