Is it possible to install the hinge springs on a AD series without removing the hinge pin? I think I did it years ago on another truck. But I'm looking at mine now and I don't see how it is possible. Cleon

I dunno, Cleon. I just did mine a few weeks ago, and I had to take out the hinges.

yes it is possible
BUT you have to remove the hinge from the truck
you can whack it in but you may damage it
pushing out the pin ALSO ALLOWS you to lubricate the pin,
clean the oil hole for future spray grease & inspect the whole shebang

IF you do it right, you won't regret the time spent .
