Default Sagging door...

Hey guys and gals,

Hope the new year is going well so far.

The drivers door on my 91 GT is sagging and I now have to lift it upwards to close it. I bought some door hinges to put on. My question is: How do I change the hinges? Any recommendations on the repair, any tips?

it is a little tricky, you can do it in the car but it is a little pain to do cut the stock pin out of it. The easiest way is to take a magic marker and trace around the door hinge on the body and door, support the door, then take off the door hinge and do it out of the car.

My mistake. What I got was a door hinge rebuild kit (pins and bushings).

Going back to my original question. Is it easy to change the pins?

I usually remove the inner fender liner and do it from the back side and I use a jack to support the door while working on the part that unbolts...it's time consuming but not hard
