[let_nova]

an old bonnet stay cut down is best

[olienova1]

how long mate?

[let_nova]

as much as you need to get a hammer onto the end.

Or use a pin removal tool.

the question is are you saving the doors or not??

if not, then grinder, if yes, then removal tool..

where most people go wrong is that they need to support the back end of the door with a jack (or mate) because the pins wear funny and with weight on them, they will be really hard to get out

Then replace with a nut and bolt. Pins are dog muck.

so so simple!if i was close enough id come whip them off for you.

1,wd40(good spray all round the pins top and bottom)
2,piece of bonnet stay(hacksaw to cut it down to size) as mentioned around 6"long
3,A claw hammer(as the lump hammer was to bulky)in the gap available)

Andthat was it the only awkward part i had was holding/balancing the door on a stack of tyres,getting the pins out was pretty straight forward,didnt even break a sweat lol
just to think the last lot of doors i took off i burnt off with the burning tackle:roll:


you realy dont need them tools(door pin remover's,a waste of money in my own experiance), the bonnet stay is around 1mm smaller than the pins themselves,plus it cost you nothing!
plus you realy dont need to "swing"the hammer!(just a few taps see them out)
why wrap the tool in cloth/teatowellol your only tapping the(my way)the bonnet stay around 10 times,so shouldnt be damaging your hand for whatever reason!
i would definatly say this isnt one of the better way(sorry to put your fire out mate)
the way i mentioned,you just cant go wrong so so simple,plus you dont damage anything and all labour/tools are free:thumb:

(this was removed from a old thread i made a while back asking myself,i got this info of ernie(chris) of here and works so straightforward.)

10 mins tops if i had to do it again!

I used a door removal tool and it took about 10 seconds! Definitly need a mate supporting the door though, thats a massive help!
