I have a "door dolly" ....... makes my life easy..... I've installed many freshly painted doors all by myself.....I use the crap out of it, it's like having a boy :D

Sorry to hear about the ordeal but happy you're ok.

Rebuild...Is that where you remove the pin, drill the hole oversize, drive in a bushing and reassemble?

Yes, it can... And I have many times... But I've seen plenty that are so loose I don't bother trying to adjust them, I rebuild the hinge..

its usually the lower hinge.........you'll have to remove the mud shield to get a whack on the hinge

:bday::bday: Alles Gute zum Geburtstag @Yennes :bday::bday:

RIP Bob. He was definitely of the opinion that his way was the only way, but I do think he was genuinely interested in helping people. Like him or not, he will be missed.

Yeah, there is a little.

even with slop in the hinge, the door can be adjusted (hinge moved) to compensate

Words to live by still.

I've seen several FAIL GIF threads, FAFO threads and others where this very thing was recorded and the guys barely made it out from under the car. I've done some stupid things but somehow, never this. Most of the vehicles I've owned were lowered and needed to be lifted for me to fit underneath...

A worn hinge will cause the rear of the door to hang low, not the front... Wanna know if the hinge is worn? un-latch the door but barely open it, grab the rear edge of the door & lift... If it moves there is slop in the hinge...

In the late 80's, I did do a dumb maneuver and live to tell about it. I was using my brother's floor jack to let my Duster down after jacking it up. I was only using one half of the handle, so I was kneeling down under the tank. His jack liked to stick, unlike mine which was MIA at the time...

Thanks guys! I am in for the night though. There is tomorrow, as long as I don't croak in my sleep!

I will have to investigate further.... The left door on the red car hangs a little low at the front, I figured the hinge was worn out. It might be but if I can align the door by adjusting the hinge, that would be cool. Oh yeah. We did that in construction too. Snug up a bolt or nut, whack...

I wouldn't be surprised if he was.. The boy ain't lazy... Put a idea in his head & he will make it happen..

Yeah, I don't have your level of experience on the body side... But I've adjusted plenty of panels...

where did KD go? is he outside loosening door hinge bolts already?..... I hope he read post 1463 :eek:

The engine does not need to be positioned at TDC or otherwise to change the reluctor and/or pickup coil in the distributor. The reluctor has two possible positions that it can be installed. It has two spots for the locating pin to align for the two positions, and should be marked on top with...

the square openings allow for the movement..... I know you know that, just clarifying for those following along at home
