Door hinges

OK, here it goes. The door hinges pins are easy to remove. All that was
needed was to heat them red hot, then with a single blow, out they went. I
did prime the whole door red, now it is back onto the car. No more dent, no
more rust. I had a rust hole the size of a grapefruit around the door
handle.

Cheers.

The check rod pins have a little clip, not the door hinges pins.

I guess there are two ways out: banging, or heating and banging.

It already has been soaked in WD40 for a few hours prior to that.

Well, tomorrow is another day. I am buying myself some beer, and will play
some guitar to annoy the neighbours a bit more after having banged the thing
all afternoon ;)

Cheers.

There are small clips under the pins that need to be removed first. Use A
flat blade screw driver to pop that off first.

Have fun  :)
