How To Install Replace Door Hinge Spring Chevy GMC Truck SUV 1AAuto.com

Thank you! Worked perfectly. Saved me a lot of time and effort.

Thanks for your help on this, works great. I used four wire ties just to be safe.
the last one snapped after the others were cut ,just like you said.

I didn't have a floor jack ,so I hung my door from a tree limb with heavy straps to replace pins and bushings. I did this by myself.

hola ! esta informacion me fue muy util !! thank you amigo nice webpage :)

Be careful handling the razor knife and be careful with red hot wire as well.

Great idea!!! Thank you. Where can i get one of those springs for a GMC Sonoma?

God bless you,thanks for your tip

Excellent video!!! I needed this!

Awesome video. Keep em coming!!

Have you tried using a drum brake spring compressor tool? They seem like the perfect tool for that job.

nice, thanks

Doing this in a few hours when the sun comes up, looks pretty easy.

Great video Thank You!

Try Torching the ties with a soldering/sweating tip. It works great and gets all of the ties easily. Thanks!

Could you just hit the wire ties with a torch to melt/release them?

I also use the wire tie method to compress the springs but instead of cutting them, I use a long piece of wire and heat the tip red hot and touch it to the wire ties. It only saves a minute, but anytime I don't have to handle razors is a good time when working on a car! LOL Thanks for your vids, they are great!

you are awesome man. just ordered some hinge pins for my s10 and i'll use your guide to do the replace for sure.
