Novas door removal tools and techniques

[elgan]

As above, any trick tools to use to remove these? Any good techniques? Ive bought 2 doors off a breaking shell and the owner is struggling to get them off to get them sent to me!

You can buy the "proper" tool.
But saying that i still couldnt get mine off with the tool

scrapping the shell? grind the hinges off, you can spend time working out how to get them off later lol

we use the proper tool for door pins plus an air chisel for nova doors in work.

A cut down bonnet stay works best and you can bend it about abit to aid the position,got mine off in minutes

^^ thats the one but we use an air chisel with a blunt bit on it .

I use a bent bootlid hinge pin.Works great once or twice then weakens

i use a a giant raw plug screw welded on a some half inch thick bar....... then jus tapp them out;)

Soaking a rag in paraffin, and tying it around overnight might ease it. They are not as bad as fiesta solid pins. They should shift eventually.

3 min job, I went to poundland & bought a long drill for just a pound lol. then just tapped the pins out, Done the job nicely.

most people forget to support the door with an axle stand with a rag on top to take up the weight from the door. the pins wear so the pins end up looking like a small camshaft. the top one will have sagged to the rear & the bottom one to the front
