Drivers door on my son's 04 Sierra wouldn't properly close this morning, so going from the helpful info in your vid, we'll be giving this job a shot. Thanks.
good video nice quality and thorough
A few smashed fingers and a cut and now i cant pretend im lisenting to my wife…lol thanks..02 avalanche
Nice job, thank you for the video!
Great video
I've done a thousand of the old style but this is the first of this style. Thanks for the video.
can I replace my pins and bushings that have nuts on them with the pins and bushings that use snap rings
Thank you, this will be the third time I have to do this. Needed a refresher.
just go ahead and buy the doorman kit with the brackets. not worth the time or frustration of not having them if/when your old pins are bonded to the brackets. I had to wait for the auto parts store to open the following day and had to drive there without a driver side door on the car.
Great video. Very easy to understand. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skill.
This makes it easy for me to repair me dad's truck.
Great video. Big help. Thanks for sharing!
Good Video,
Used your vid as a guide. Good job. I too used the threaded hinge pins. Makes installation very easy compared to the pins that you have to press in. Well worth the additional cost.
Line the pin up, place a 5/8 wrench on the top of the pin and turn the lock nut with a ratchet and a 11mm socket. Pulls the pin in very nicely and seats it properly. Too easy!
Checking the door after rehanging … the door opens smoothly and the entire weight of the door is on the hinge pins – No weight at all on the catch. Rattle is gone and wind noise reduced to nil.
2 hours total using an air powered angle grinder (underpowered) from door off to door on and done.
Excellent howto video. Thanks for posting!
I'm sure you figured it out by now, but the rear door latches are actually adjustable.
I've gotta do my front drivers side door though.. The wind noise is extremely annoying. Thanks for the video.
Any reason why no one replaces the lower pins and bushings. I mean you're already there. I'm just curious why every video on the web shows how to do this for all vehicles but only the top hinges. This is one of those pita jobs, so it really warrants doing the lower while u are in there. I'm not being a ass here, just asking?
i just ghanged mine today and my driver side door aint flush with my 3rd door just were there new bushings?
very nicely done video man. bout to embark on my 2000's hinges myself. thanks for takin the time to help us all out!
followed your guide and the job went very smoothly…thanks
was it very difficult to get the door adjusted when you put it all back together? God bless!
so I gotta get another pack they said everything I needed for that one door was in the pack smh …lol good thing I have lots of o'reilly's gift cards
did you also replace the bottom hinge?
