Good video of a proper install… However, DO NOT hammer those bushings in. They will break in a heart beat. Also just an fyi that door weighs about 75lbs so you might want to get or build some sort of a stand to hold it.
Just waiting for him to say “varicle” instead of “vehicle”.
good tutorial! Unfortunately the hole in my top bracket is wallowed out on the outside of it. Instead of cutting the bracket out and welding in a new one in, I'm going to try filling the loose side of the bracket with JB Weld.
Sounds crappy but one of the threads on the inside of my my transmission housing was glued in with JB Weld before I bought the truck and held, until the transmission was rebuilt. at that time the housing was replaced because of that.
All this will do is fill in the gap and make the bushing more secure. It held without anything to support the bushing for 2 yrs, and now it's time to replace it again. Maybe the JB Weld will help it last longer. Got my fingers crossed. Unless you have a video on how to fix a sloppy hole like this better, that I can watch, or a good suggestion.
If you beat on those bushings you will break them..
I gotta i brought gm spring tool and couldn't get the spring out and then remembered this video. Thanks for your trick on getting the spring out. The show couldn't start without this trick!. I watched alot of hinge videos and this is the only one that shows it. Thanks!
I enjoy your experience
Please don't beat on the bushings, they are extremely fragile!!!
wonder if small engine valve spring compressor would work.
Thanks for the info video!!
Part number and brand of that spring compress tool please ?
Isn't that the homie from 1A-Auto?
We used zip ties on the spring and a c- clamp to compress the print. It took 5 zip ties which were grocery store purchased.
Never when i use a hammer they always brake now use a bolt and some wash will push the bushing in straight
Great video, My driver door on my 2002 S10 is sagging as well.
Thanks for this. I just called my dealer for a labor estimate, but maybe I'll do it myself.
Do you have anyting on how to replace heater blend door activator on S10 2002
My new bushing broke into pieces when I barely tapped them
You can also use a c Clamp to compress the spring and wrap several zip ties around inner coils to reinstall if you don't have the tool
Why not change one at a time
I have also seen this guy on 1aauto videos
Nope. Don't beat the bushing in with a hammer unless you have a bunch of spares. Most of them are made of brass. Brass is very soft and brittle. Good chance they will crumble. Instead use a 1.5 to 2 inch long 5/16" fully threaded bolt & a nut, plus another larger nut that the hole size fits slightly loosely over the small end of bushing. For top bushings, slide bushing on bolt and drop thru hole. Slide larger nut up over bolt and hold in place while threading 5/15 nut on. Use a flat washer between the larger nut & 5/16 so it doesn't try to suck up into the larger nut. Slowly tighten to press bushing into place. Make sure the bushing is going in straight. Tap the bolt a little sideways as needed to get it straight. Flip bolt/nut assemble over for other bushings. Also…It's common for the cab side of the hinge to be wider apart than optimal. I slip a flat washer between them to help lift the door and close the gap. If there is vertical slack it tends to wear the bushings out faster.
Thanks for the vid. Is it a good idea to add a little grease to the new pins and bushings to stop them from wearing out?
