------ 1/15/09 ----- Greetings, the weight has to be taken off the door to change one or both hinge pins. It really is a 2 man operation. You can use a milk crate and blocks of wood to hold up the door from the bottom or if in a garage, or use an adjustable tie strap to hang the door through the open window frame. With the weight off, wiggle the door while tapping the old pin out. (hammer and punch/screwdriver). The new pin comes with a new locking ring, so lube it up and gently tap it in. Do not force it. Wiggle the door until the holes line up and it goes in pretty easy. ---- The spring can be very difficult to install by trying to pry it in place with wedges, bars, or screwdrivers. Most autoparts stores have a special door spring installer tool. It looks kind of like a big pair of tweezers with a threaded bolt in the middle. You tighten the bolt to compress the spring and put it in place.
