Door hinge removal
Hope someone can help. Bought some new mirriors that fit in the top hinge of the door. The problem is cant get the old hinge out. Is there a special
trick to knocking the hinge out or is it just bash away... |

No circlip, but usually a dificult job
remove the door
get a helper to support the door on a suitable support (pipe) under the hinge in question (with the door upside down cause your trying to drive the
pin out via the top)
Belt the hinge pin with a fbh and a suitable drift.
OR
get the vw tool to do it in situ
OR
make a tool
someone on here posted pics a while back

I have been thinking for a while it would be beneficial for VW clubs to have these tools etc for the members to use.

Club Veedub Sydney has such a library of various VW tools and workshop gear for lending - but you must be a financial member to borrow. Come to a
monthly meeting (next one on Dec 18) and enquire - secretary Bob Hickman is the custodian.

Any method will unfortunately bruise the paint.

well paining the tops and bottoms of the hinges wouldn't be a large problem...
much lesser than when the OXY Acetalyne is used to heat up the hinges
Anyone hire one out???
