DOOR HINGE PINS

[MCHUDD]

Hi tech people.
Does anyone have any tips on how to remove a door hinge pin.
Is there a special tool needed?
Cheers Mark.

As there seems to be a few old posts on here talking about how much of an arse on it is and what is required. Here is what works for me. May be of use to others?
Forget the Volvo/Draper etc pin removal tools. All you need it below:


Door removal kit as modeled on the 343 that I/Ben/John bought.

The pro kit (smooth bar would be better, but I had this lying around)

Top pin

Bottom pin

Instructions



Estimated time, 2-5 mins per door. Remember to remove the chck strap first! Same to refit.

Mark,

See me after I get back from Deutschland. I've got the tool and loads of pins here.

I can get the top one out easy enough, not sure how the bottom one come out all the way going down though. I had to pull it up with the draper tool which is only good for a couple of pins.

What are you trying to do exactly?

Hi all.
To tell what happened is this. When i opened the passenger door for Mrs mchudd {chivilry is not dead yet }, the door dropped.
I had a look and it looked like the hinge had broken. There are two main dealers of volvos in N.Ireland. SMW in Belfast and Greers in Antrim.
SMW had know 300 parts left but Greers had five door hinges that had been sitting on a shelf for years. He gave them to me for a quid each
My mate and i then had a go at getting the old one out with a punch and hammer. The hinge will not budge but after a sevier hammering,it
seems to have fixed its self. I will still need to get a new hinge in but it is back working properly for now
Cheers Mark.

As I said Mark, I've got the Volvo tool back in Dub.

Excuse me while I get back to my stein of beer.

I presume its the top pin, Sounds like you have hammered the broken pin section past the joint in the hinge. If you have time drop down and I'll have a go.

Hello, I covered this very subject extensively in my blog, just last year.
