As I was turning my doors into 'wrangler style' lift off doors, I uncountered a little problem. The passenger door is off....great!
What's not great is there is the pin in the upper hinge hole of the bottom hinge. Top one came right out for me. But in the lower hinge I cut it into pieces--which ended up being a bad idea. I can't grab ahold of it now.
I've tried hitting the hell out of it with a punch, heating it and then hitting the hell out of it, drilling it out, and now that I'm mad I think im just gonna buy a new hinge for that lower part, cut off the lower ear, and use my grade 8, 1/4 bolts i got and tack weld them. I know this might cause my door alignment problems, but I'm getting impatient.
So after all that, here's the question. I searched here, quadratec, jc whitney, and crown automotive has it listed but not any details.
Am I stuck getting this damn thing from the dealer? I only need one as of now, but knowing me I'll mess up a rear door too =/
Thanks, enjoying laughing at me
