RE: Door Pins
Super easy. All you need is a car jack, friend, and the new pins bushings. Just open the door, and put the jack underneath it. Jack it up a little bit and get your buddy to hold the door. Then just remove the old pins and bushings. (it may take a little wiggling but nothing major). Then insert new bushings and pings and done. My advice is put a little grease on the bushings. If they are copper like the ones I got, the greasing will help them last a little longer.

RE: Door Pins
ur both wrong i had another post about this...remove the front wheel and remove/bend out of the way the plastic inner fender piece. Inside the fender there are 3 bolts on a bracket, a lower bracket and an upper bracket. Loosen all the bolts and position the door the way you want it. Then just tighten the bolts and check your work, if all goes well close up the inner fenderwell put the wheel back on and your done. This is good for all foxes. I have horrible saggy doors and my door pins are shot. I just adjusted the door to compensate and i now have a perfect fit. Sure beats taking them damn door pins apart.

RE: Door Pins
Whiteout -- but it doesn't fix the problem. The bushings get worn out after a few years -- now, when you go to change the bushings & pins, you'll also have to adjust your hinges as your striker probably won't line up. It seems like double work, ultimately.

RE: Door Pins
im all about true parcticalities, your right. because if my bushings went id just do it again until the doors fall off and id just pick em up put em back close the doors, lock em, and dukes of hazard it every time. ima gear head i can care less about luxuries, doors opening and closing are just a luxury i can do without

And in regards to the door pins. They are so much easier to swap out then taking the front wheel and inner fender.
