Having an assistant would be helpful. Place a folded towel on top of your hydraulic floor jack and position it under the door aprox in the center so it will balance. Raise the jack up and make contact will the door bottom. I recommend purchasing the tool to r & r the detente door spring. Most auto parts stores will carry that tool and it sells for less than $20. Using the detente spring tool remove the spring. Next remove the retaining clips from each door pin. Don't try to save them because new ones come with the new pins. While your assistant is holding the door drive out the old pins with a punch and hammer. The top pin goes down and the lower pin goes up for removal. The door can be moved away a few inches giving you enough room to replace the bushings without disconnecting the wires. The replacement pin kits also come with new bushings. Drive out the old bushings with your punch and hammer. Do not use a hammer to install the new bushings. They are brittle and most likely break if you do use the hammer. Draw the new bushings in place with a bolt and nut with various sized washers. Move the door back into position and slide the new pins in place. You will need to drive the pins home with your punch and hammer for the last 1/8". Install the new retaining clips. Remove floor jack. Slip the detente spring back into position then remove detente spring tool. Done.

Pump is about 150 and I just charged 200 in labor on a customers 03 duramax pickup.

What year,what motor?? it is a 2002 Chevy avalanche 1500
Need to know if it is a 2 wheel drive or a 4 wheel drive truck and what engine it has, it matters.
A SPECIAL puller is required to remove the balancer.
Usually a new set of hinge pins and bushings bring the door back to alignment. If something got bent you basically have to re-bend it. I've seen it done with blocks of wood and a floor jack.
They screw in from the rear. TAke the light assy off.
