Thanks, I'll try those. Was just trying to keep it all on the van so I don't have to readjust the door or repaint.
Oh yeah, latest response from Bob Drake "customer service" was that their tools are not made in China--they are made in Taiwan. Had to give them a little geography lesson. Amazing argument really.
Much appreciate the help and TGIF

I rebuilt my hinges from the hardware store . The nylon busings were 16 cents a piece and the pins were 33 cents a piece. I used longer bushings than the originals so the pin had more surface to move on. I had to oversize the bushing hole to clean that hole up to recieve the new bushings without any force The hardware store also had brass or bronze bushings but I figured the van had the plastic bushings for 44 years the first time around so it should be good for another 44 years with a little tlc Ken

I guess if you want to remove the pins without removing the hinges from the van,,,,,you would need the Donivan 6500 hinge pin remover tool,,,,,,,

Don't laugh, Joey,,,,,you never know what the next fad is,,,,,,,anyways,,,that Ball Joint Tool came in handy removing those Ford springs off Vanishes' van last week,,,,,,That tool actually is one of my best tools,,,,,,,it has all kinds of adapters to push and pull and nothing stops it when you use an impact to turn it,,,,,,
