now a good way to test if your hinges are shot is giving them the good ol' wigglability test, there should be no play in the rivets, you will know what I am talking about, best to have the hood off for a true wiggle test of one hinge at a time

mine believe it or not are nice adn solid, no free play, so I just needed to grease them before installing them, I thought about using a suringe or something to get some whitle grease in there but the tolerances are just way too tight, so I shot them with my trusty chain lube that my garage door guy turned me on to, and this stuff is AmazeBallz good, a few squirts with a can with the red straw attached for pin point accuracy and they were ready for another 40 years (provided they don't rust up again, ha ha)
