Can somebody give me some tips on replacing the door hinge bushingson my 1969 Javelin? I pulled the door off the hinges to get access to the pins. Then I tried using a punch and hammer to drive out the pins with no luck. I was swinging that hammer pretty dang hard and the pin never budged. Any ideas?

thanks,

Darren

The only idea that I have is for you to totally remove the door hinges off the car. Take the hinges totally off the car and use a vise to drive the pins out, hopefully this will solve that problem. :)

Thaks for the reply. I just noticed I posted in the wrong area. Sorry about that. Anyway, I soaked the pins with penetrating oil over night, then used a torch to heat just the area by the pin and they popped right out. The bottom pin came out without any heat.
