Drivers side door hinge
HI all
I am putting a new door on my beetle to replace the old rusty one before i spray it and i want to change the door hinge with the thread for the mirror
on it. I assume its a pin that needs to be pressed or punched out ? or is there another way to change it?

Where are you located. Some one local may have tool.
Customer service is not dead in Australia.
Always after HAZET & MATRA & VW factory tools

dont punch it or you will loosen the rivets that hold the hinge on to the door
it has to be suported under it when its being removed
better off useing a clamp press
