Best Answer

The door is very heavy so I have supported it when I have replaced the hinges. If I recall correctly you need a punch and hammer to pound the old one out from the bottom (one at a time). Then tap the new one in from the top. I have run into problems on some vehicles with replacements being to long and having to cut them just a bit.

How do you change the door hinge on a 1990 Camaro?

The '90 camaro has three bolts that hold the door hinge to the body and I believe three that hold the hinge to the door. The easiest way I've found is to score the position of the original hinge location and remove the bolts with the appropriate wrench with the door open. Be sure to have the door supported because it will try to sag. Once the new hinge is in place, align it to the original hinges location and tighten your bolts down.
