Remove the door hinge spring using the J 36604 . Remove the C-clips that retain the door hinge roller pins. Support the door in the open position. Remove the door hinge roller pins from the vehicle. Use a soft-faced hammer and locking pliers in order to remove the hinge pins. Position the door away from the hinge. Remove and discard the old bushings. Installation Procedure Install the new bushings and position the door on the hinges. Install the door hinge roller pins to the vehicle. Install the C-clips that retain the door hinge roller pins. Install the door hinge spring using the J 36604 . Lubricate the hinge roller pins using multi-purpose lubricant Superlube (GM P/N 12346241) or equivalent. _____________________________ (in reply to rstank) Post #: 2

Only problem is my truck has the newer style hinges with no spring, etc. The best I can find is to get out the ol'' rec. saw and get to whackin''. Sure seems awful ruff treatment for a truck wearing a bow tie. Sure seems like there oughta be a better way. Again thanks for the answer tho''. (in reply to shawnvw) Post #: 3
