Door Pin Removal

[94bowtie]

I need an upper door pin for my 94, and i was wondering what the easiest way to remove it. Please let me know. Thanks

If I remember right, on my 90' we had to grind it out, because someone welded it...

lol. i hope its not that hard. can i just drive it out? its the top pin, that the spring puts pressure on, that holds the door open. well the part of the pin/bushing where they meet, is bent and doesnt hold the door open. and after getting my leg slammed in the door about 4 times because of 30 mph winds, im already fed up with it. lol

The pin you are referring to is called the roller pin. Just pry the clip off and drive it out.

If it's the factory roller pin then you have to grind off the factory swedged out end and then knock it out, the replacement ones are held with a clip though.

Oh yeah, forgot that the roller pin has that pressed/crimped end on it.

The only thing you might have to do is open up the top of the hole before you drive the splined end through. My new pin was about .020 larger than the existing hole.
