I drilled the holes for the bushings, they fit in easily also, probably not good (should be tighter)?
Question regarding that oil hole. Held up to a light & looking into the hole I I can see a pin size hole only. It that normal? But then again when it’s repaired I think I understand that I won’t be using it?
If you have enough movement which you can feel anywhere in the hinge now, you will not like the outcome once that movement is increased exponentially when measured at the door latch/striker at the opposite end of the door. You will essentially be starting out with a worn out hinge.
I have removed worn out hinges which did not seem all that bad once I had the hinge in my hand. Trust me, they were bad.
You may need to find another hinge and start over.
