Thats my motto do-it-yourself and save money! Good to see people still teaching and showing ways and how to fix things yourself Instead of relying on others to fix the issue
While this guy got lucky, I would highly advise against hammering in the bushings, because they shatter easier than your hopes and dreams! Use a bolt and nut to "pull" them in squarely.
Its nice to see a Professional do the work with detailed instructions. I knew you were a Pro when I saw you using brass punches the way it should be done.
I just did this after watching your video. Thanks for your help. I have two garage doors close together. I backed the truck in till the door was under two garage door rails by the support. I used two ratchet straps along over the rail with the jack underneath similar to the way you did it. I also used a 1/4” bolt with washers and a socket to press the bushings in.
Video helped, just changed mine with parts suggested. Unfortunately the new door hinge pin with the roll bearing was too big and wouldn't fit so I had to reuse the old one. Still works but quality control failed me on that one.
DIY 101, i'm about to handle this job myself, kudos to those who know better in leaving comments, instead of opinion i took/ had autoshop/driver Ed in HS... thx
Your roller pin went in way too easy. I hammered for hours before grinding some splines to get it to finally fit. I even used a tapered sanding roll in the hole first to clean out any burrs and help the install. Gonna fabricate a press tool for the other side. Other than that, it’s a simple process.
Same here and I used an air hammer. I haven't gone as far as to remove any splines yet, but if this doesn't go in within the next 30 min, I'm going to try that.
Confused me because the bushings go in one side of the body and one side of the door but after I figured that out it was easy. Bought a 20$ set off Amazon and they came with everything and worked fine, fixed my door sag and it rubbing on the bottom of my cab. Thankfully my holes were not wore out but if they are for anyone else, get oversized pins off the internet (cost more 100$) and hammer them in.
I wish there was more focus on the cam roller pin. Mine appears to be flared/staked at the top, so I’m thinking there’s going to be a Sawzall involved.
I tried your directions- watched your video many times - not so good - bushings shatterd when tried to put it an didn't really tap on them like u did - the wiring boot is right in the way an difficult to work around - the jack had to be moved up an down many times- overall nothing happened like it did for you- nothing- left it an gonna take to a bodyshop- learned my lesson about utube videos

If anyone plans on doing this at home do NOT USE DORMAN BUSHINGS YOU WILL END UP WITH THEM CRUMBLING APART!!!
This helped me a ton. What I didn’t know was how weak the brass bushings are from dorman as I cracked one of the new ones installing it
Bronze lol
Hahaha I just posted about this too
Cunningham machine has the best ones on the market
My compliments. Clear, concise, good camera angles and explanations.

Best hinge pin video I've seen out of the three watched
Thank you

Just wanted to say thank you for a great video. Just completed this job and your guide made all the difference.
This video was GREAT. Thanks for all the step-by-step instructions and close-up shots of the actual replacements.
Going to do this today! Thank you guys! I wish there was a video on how to change out the Blend Door Actuator 😬
+OBS Dwayne We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
I got great bushings from Cunningham machine and tool to install great company great stuff
Thank you for making this video. I found it excellent and it reassured me that I can do it properly.
Video helped, just changed mine with parts suggested. Unfortunately the new door hinge pin with the roll bearing was too big and wouldn't fit so I had to reuse the old one. Still works but quality control failed me on that one.
This UA-cam channel is the best
great video you just taught me how to do my own doors I really appreciate it
Idk wher you got your kit but the ones in your link are exactly like Dorman. They were like they’ve been made of clay.
Great vid. Much better than the others I wasted time watching. I just wonder why you're used the Pin retainer? My parts came with new ones.
Loved the video helped me install my Cunningham machine parts
Hey @TRQ can i use the exact same pieces you uses in this videos to fix a 1988 chevorlet c1500 door hinge
Bought a pair, the bushings were some type of brittle pot metal. Did not last.
Where do you get parts with quality bushings?
Thank you your video has VERY HELPFUL. 👍🤝
That was excellent!! Thank you!
Yes very nice video, I'll be ordering parts soon.
Is that the same spring compressor tool you would use on a 2004 Buick Regal?
What about the process?
DIY 101, i'm about to handle this job myself, kudos to those who know better in leaving comments, instead of opinion i took/ had autoshop/driver Ed in HS... thx
This is how you make an instructional video.
So what to do next if the door is floppy as described at the end?
Hey it's the 1A auto guy
Does it apply to Suburbans of the same year
Thanks for uploading, please restock the kits

Where can I get that spring compressor? Or one that small
Awesome video thanks
Cannot stress enough, do not use doorman! I’m replacing mine with Cunninghams kit less than a year year later

Is it a good idea to put grease on the inside of those bushings before driving the pins in?
Thank you sir!
How much is labor for this job per door or for both ?
I need that spring compressing tool...anyone know the proper name of that tool been trying look it up to buy one and cant find it?
I wish there was more focus on the cam roller pin. Mine appears to be flared/staked at the top, so I’m thinking there’s going to be a Sawzall involved.
I used a die grinder to remove the flare at the top and on the re-install of the new roller pin I used an air hammer
well done Brofessor, I love that, i'm smiling but still super angry and may hurt you vibe.
Great. Good Job. I subscribed. Make more.
I liked this video! To the point and easy to follow. TY
Need a tool like that. Compress spring.
Wow y’all the best #MadmikescustomDaily #UA-cam #TRQ
Please sort of video I learned something appreciate it
I could of figured it out but just watching a video on it before going in just is the mandalorian way lol😅
Very well explained. Thank you
Thanks
Where they regular bushing kit or heavy duty
I bet changing the top one solves the issue. Seems to be the one that's always worn out.
I need the spring tool name please
Even with that tool to compress the spring I can get it to fit
En donde las consigo en Ecuador
The save yourself a lot of this work if you oil to your hinges on a regular basis
Don’t use dorman hinge pin kits either!!! The bushings are copper and they just crumble!!! I don’t get why they are so crappy
Hey! What bushings do you use? I’m in Canada and Dorman aren’t too great.
Yeah my Dorman bushings shattered aswell. But if you look at 1A auto they look the same as Dorman. Not at all the same as in this video.
Surely this can be done without removing the spring
What if I don't have a door spring
You’re a harbor freight man; the wire brush gave you away. No shame. I’ve got the same one.
I like how a replacement door striker doesn't exsist :/
Have never seen a hinge pin clip as shown
✅
Yes never turn spring toward your face, as he does. lol

I bought these and they didn’t fit my truck
Bet they didn’t last 3 months using a hammer to knock those bushings in.
Do not buy cheap bushings. Ac delco or cuningham machine are the only ones that dont crumble when you look at them
Do not buy Dorman parts! They break immediately. Buy Cunningham machine door bushings.
TRQ makes good videos but has extremely poor quality parts. If you want to have to do the job twice, try TRQ first.
Don't waste your money on dorman bushings & pins the bushings are junk
Bro got that ChrisFix energy lol
