Open door as wide as possible. Place jack stands or other object under door for support. Detach speaker, power window/locks wire. There should be a connector that you can take apart. Pry out spring with pry bar. Remove retaining rings from hinge pin. Carefully tap down on upper pin to remove. Have a friend hold the door up slightly to relieve tension. If pin does not fall out grab with vice grips and tap out. Tap upward on lower pin and follow same directions as with upper. Remove bushings by carefully tapping out. Hopefully you have already purchased a replacement pin set. Take the new bushings for the upper and insert them in the bracket attached to the vehicle. Bushing down on the top part of the bracket and up on the lower part of the top bracket. The second set of bushings goes in the lower bracket attached to the door of the vehicle. Upper bushing down and lower up. Have your buddy hold the door in position and insert the pin in the upper bracket from the bottom. The pin for the lower bracket goes from the top of the lower bracket to the bottom. Attach locking pins and pry spring back in to position. Reattach electrical and speakers. Your done. To add my procedure on my 97 Chevy 1500 pickup, the above procedure is right on the mark. However, because I was doing this myself, I opted to use a padded jack on the bottom of the door and used my engine hoist, rolling down the window and getting a very thick towel and strapped the top of the window frame. This made for a very stable setup. Slide the door back slightly, do the work, 30 minutes done.

How do you replace Door Hinge 1994 Chevrolet C1500 Silverado 8-cylinder 5.7L Is it bolted or glued?
The hinges are spot welded in 4 places. There are detents on each spot weld for drilling. Use a 1/2 inch bit and drill out the spot welds, then the hinge is supposed to come off. The new hinge should come with bolts and a back plate. I'm in the middle of this right now. With the 2 forward spots, the fender is partially blocking for drilling. I still don't have one of them drilled enough for the hinge to separate. Good luck!
