Like most 66's my door hinges really need some help. I've seen the door pins and bushings kits that suppliers offer and I like the lower cost. But I'm curious of what it'll take to get my old stuff off. I've removed my doors and the doors were lined up pretty well and I really don't want to mess that up.
When I drive the old pins out with a punch and hand sledge can I expect the hinges to move? Also one of the short pins that the follower rides on is broken off. How much trouble will it be to drill that baby out? I don't think you can punch it from beneath. And when I'm done drilling, will the new one fit?
Has anyone out there already fought these battles?
