Iam going to attempt replacing my door hinge pins this coming weekend and I would appreciate any advice how to remove them.

Had to remove the door and using brute force knocked the pins out.[]
On close inspection it was more wear on the plastic sleeve that the pin goes through rather than the pin itself.
The good news is..........no more door drop on the hinges(slight as it was)[]

Did you replace the plastic bush as well ?.

I didnt have the plastic bush and what with the door off ready I made some sleeves from a hard plastic tubing.Looking at the originals the tubing looks tough enough to stand up to the same treatment(I hope!)

Someone posted that the bushes were tuffnel. So were the pins worn at all or was it just the bush ?.

The pins were fine comparing with the new ones,it was the bushes that were the problem

Did the bushes come out easily ?.

Where did you get the new ones from, Alan?

 

[cococola]

Paul I got mine from the Porsche main dealer at Sutton Coldfield,posted all inc for under a tenner.Make sure that you buy the plastic sleeves that the pins go into aswell(its probably these that have worn rather than the pins).
Good luck![]
