How do you replace the hinge pins on a 1999 Chevy Blazer?

Answer 1

Go to a parts store and get replacement pins. You can probably use generic ones, but it is probably best to have them pull out the ones that are matched to your Blazer.

Then you can either

1) Try to replace the pins one at a time by hammering one out and replacing it and then doing the other OR

2) Remove the spring with a tool (with a little luck autozone might rent one to you) and replace both pins at the same time. The following tutorial with loads of pictures is really helpful:

Sometimes the holes in the door or the hinge have started to get worn into an oval / egg shape. When this happens, you have to repair the hole somehow. Some suggest that filling the hole with epoxy might work. Generally it is recommended that you weld and re-drill. Chances are you'll have to have someone do it if this is needed. If the bushing just wore out recently, replace pins and busings and you're done. Good luck!
