If you cut the pins with a grinder or hacksaw the busings go inside to replace the metal you removed or the worn down area from the hinge movement. I rebuilt mine like the attached thread shows, it is not a $300 task this is a couple hours per hinge deal plus the repaint time. They work like new now and both sides of my truck had broken tension springs and non-budgeable pins.
