∙ 9y agoThe door needs to be supported on a jack with a helper steadying it. With the hinge either on the truck or off, hammer the pin out of the hinge. You may need to grind the tip off to get it out. Hammer the bushings out then install the new bushings in as well as the pin. Do the same for the other hinge.

How do you draw a diagram of a hinge joint?
When you draw this, use a pencil and make very light lines.First, find a hard back book, like a textbook. Open it to any page and stand it up on a table where you can walk all around the table to see all sides or views of it.Second, go open a door and look at the hinge that is nailed or screwed into the door and doorway jam. Really study how it looks when you move the door closer to fully open, and closing it.The two flat hinge pieces are like the front and back covers of your book. The spine is like the middle of the hinge.Try drawing the middle piece first. Make a straight line for the middle or center of the hinge. Next, make the back piece first. Instead of making the edges even with the paper, have the top right slightly higher on that corner, e.g. slightly above the top of your hinge middle piece. Now, try to draw the front piece so that you can still see part of the back flat piece. Make sure to look at your book on the table, to try to get the angles correct.Lastly, erase any lines for the back piece that you should not / would not see if looking at a real 3D hinge.

There are two different sizes of bushings for each hinge. On the Top door hinge the bushing go on the body side. The smaller of the two goes on the top hinge with the shoulder of the bushing on the top side of the hinge. The Larger bushing goes on the bottom of the hinge with the shoulder of the bushing on the bottom of the hinge. On the lower hinge the bushing go on the door side of the the hinge. The larger of the bushings go on the upper side of the hinge and the smaller bushing goes on the lower side of the hinge. When you put the pins in, the pin will go from bottom to top on the upper hinge and from top to bottom on the lower hinge. The pins will need to be tapped into place with a hammer. Be careful to not break the shoulder of the bushing. There is a tool that makes reinstalling the door spring a snap. It will probably cost $40, but it will save your knuckles and a lot of time.
