Nova door pin will not budge?

[Richy12]

Hi all, I have a nova I am restoring. The passenger side door came off easy with the removal tool, now the driver side pins will not move.

I have broken the tool trying it.

Used a old bonnet stay

Heated it up with small gas burner

Soaked it in wd40.

What can I do next that's not cutting the door off?

Lol Iam having the same trouble getting my drivers door off. I've soaked them both in wd. Gonna leave them and go back to them. Not much room to get a tool in. I've used a punch.

The tool is about the best way try fixing it even if it only works once . Change for astra pins when you put them back on . The astra and probs many other ones are solid not hollow

The bonnet stay trick works very well, good excuse to cut up the old one and get a stainless one.

I machined down a capscrew, the pins I got with the kit were shit. Worked a treat. Granted, not everyone has access to a lathe though.
