The bushings can be punched out and replaced with new ones. That way your hinge isn't toast when things wear. I think you can get standard hinge pin/bushing repair kits for a couple of bucks at your local car parts store. I have seen and used them in the red "Help!" packages. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2002 Posts: 385 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2002 Posts: 385 | I also ordered the "oversized" hinge pins/bushings, but when I got them I discovered they were too large. Most of the slop was due to worn bushings. I went to NAPA with the disassembled hinges and found a set of metric pins/bushings that were a press fit. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 55 Member | | Member Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 55 | | | | | | Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 15 Member | | Member Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 15 | | | |
