door hinge

Recommended Posts

West Coast Classic Cougars Mustangs has the rebuilt with zerk fitting.

They also have a good you tube video on changing the hinge pin without removing the door.

Replacing the OEM style pins and bronze bushings is also an option for less money. That's what I did.

Granted, it's not nearly as robust as the grease filled zerk kits but it is a lot cheaper. When these cars were daily drivers and the doors were getting opened and closed a dozen times a day, 365 days a year, the hinges wore out. I figure my car is now a toy that gets driven a a couple dozen times a year so the OEM style should last me a lifetime.

The zerk style would probably last 5 lifetimes but that's more than I'm going to need. :)

I did the bushing install with a kit that had zirc fittings, and did not have to weld them in.  I will have to go look to see where I got them, but very happy with the result.   I would not buy aftermarket hinges......
