Question
I have 2 chevy surburban suv's. a '93 and a '94.I see there are 4 bolts holding the angle hinges to the frame(body). Is that the only ones holding on the doors? if so,how do you get the angle iron pieces out?and if the doors are drooping how do you remove the pins to change the plastic spacers? thanks

Answer
They should all unbolt at both ends with (3) three 13 mm bolts. Apply a little WD-40 on the
hinge pins. They can be tapped out with a small ball peen hammer and an appropriate sized old
drill bit or nail set"From the bottom, up" then the new brass or plastic bushings can be inser-
ted.                       Is this Randy with the frame damage?
                                                 Best of luck again Randall.   Bill
                        PS. some of the rear door hinges could be of a one piece variety and
                 if so you may have to replace them complete.
