Door pin diameter

[Jack]

What size are the door pins? Need to get a tool to remove mine for when I swap the doors over, but ought to buy the right size I suppose lol

[Plug]

7mm iirc, or a piece of bonnet stay, Thats the perfect size for the job

The pins hole is 8 mm pins are 8.1 themselves I start them with a punch loads of wd40 the night before or a few times over couple of days to soften them then a bit if bonnet stay and away they go

As above, i have an old bonnet stay which i chopped both end's off. Its the perfect tool

An even better way is to use a bootlid pin.

[Jack]

No boot lid pin and I kinda need my bonnet stay to hold the bonnet up lol Will look for an 8mm tool then

i also got two new door pins from vauxhall not that long ago

The tools snap very easy so loads of wd40 a must and when you put the tool in place hit it down or up first by punching it down first to get it moveing it's less likely to snap then

wd is a poor penetrant.
deblock
plus gas
rost off
Halfords shock and unlock are far superior

if I do a survey of how many people have the above^ over ws40 I'm sure who will win out of intrest and for the sake of this point what have you got jack? Ps never heard of 2 of them myself lol

[Andy]

Trust me,try the 2 you haven't heard of.
Wd is used once you have freed the seized item off.
