Ok stupid question, how do I take side and rear doors off of my 64 a-100? Do I take the thingy off the bottom of the pin and then drive the pin up and out?

??????????????? Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? BS, I have a pair of hinges with no door attached to them. Now, if you mean can't remove the pin, that's a different topic. I haven't tried to remove the pin on the tweaked hinge I had to replace.dix wrote: From the inside there will be 3 holes in the piller at each hindge location, 9/16 socket, The hindge doesn't come off the door,
Just look at the hinge were it marries to the vehicle, there will be 3 bolts on each side, they may be hidden on the door side of the hinge.

drill them out. yes its a lot of work but if you need to change one thats what is needed. reinstall with a carraige bolt and you might have to grind the head down a bit for it to fit when closed. the pins usually need to be heated a bunch before they will come out and that ruins paint and to much beating on the pins can bend the door shell or frame.
