Auto body repair & detailing: changing bushings door hinges - pathfinder, nissan pathfinder, pins


Question
I have a 1992 Nissan Pathfinder and of course the door hinges sag down at this age of the vehicle on the drivers side door....can you give me some advice on what is involved in doing this job of changing the bushings for the hinges themselves?

taking off the door? do the electric wiring for the windows have to come off - can they stay on while I do the job for example?

thanks for any help.

Answer
Hello Simon
You do not need to take off the wiring completely.
The easiest way to do this is to cut off the pins and knock them out. The door must be blocked up so you can do this job and still have the wires attached
If the original pins and bushings are not available , generic ones should be.
Good luck with the project
