Taking Doors Off - HELP
What is the best hinge pin tool?
Mac's tool V46335pull or Snyders tool A-46335-T OR is it easier to take off the door hinge to body screws. BOTH door hinge pins and body screws are rusty. I am soaking them with Kroil Oil. Thanks for any advice on getting the doors off. |

Re: Taking Doors Off - HELP
I would go with the Snyder style tool. I had some very stuck pins and I soaked them for a couple of weeks before trying to remove the pins. It was still a bugger with the heavier duty tool. I actually purchased mine from Berts in Denver and don't remember paying that much for it.

Re: Taking Doors Off - HELP
Did you add any heat to them before spraying them? Or did you add heat as you were taking them off with the tool?

My car was already painted and I was only adding mirrors. I didn't want to ruin any of the paint so I did the whole process cold.

Also, for the S/W sedan, finding correct replacement screws and washers was not trivial. Doug

Doug, I thought that blue wrench might make things go better. :-) Thanks for the advice.
