This spring I wanted to repair the rust that I knew was lurking beneath the sill plates, I also would like new carpet. Before I could begin rust repair, I needed to install new hinge pins and bushings, so that I could more accurately align the doors & new rocker. My original gaps were not that great, so hopefully I can improve on that some. Installing New pins and bushings was far easier than I thought it would be. Heating the hinge body a bit with a torch helped a lot. That way I didn’t have to beat on the pin so hard to get it out. The rebuilt hinges made a big improvement in the doors alignment, and the way they opened and closed, even though the original pins & nylon bushings didn’t appear to be too worn.
