Just recently rebuilt my driver door top hinge (53 Chevy 3100 1/2 ton) with a replacement pin and new springs. I'm finding it impossible to get the hinge back into the hinge pocket! When I took it out there was some manipulation, but since the springs were gone it wasn't difficult. In the videos I have watched, the people say to make sure the hinge arm is swung fully open to get the hinge back in the pocket. What am I doing wrong? Or did I put the springs in wrong?
