i did this on a 92 chevy and all you do is drive it out with a hammer

 

My drivers side is the same way, sagging and all.. The bushing is torn completly. Ive gotta get a pin and bushing kit to fix it. I think i found them on advance auto parts's site for $7.30. Not bad! But i wonder if there's drilling involved with this one, like somone said eirlier on in this thread. I dont really wanna do any drilling on my ram in that tight of a space... If i slip. Oh shyte... lol

 

That was me that said you need to drill and yes thats the kit and you need two of them to do the whole door and you will need them because you have to pull the door off the truck to do it because you can not get a drill in that space and drill correctly. The bad part is that the friggin spring will pop out that keeps tension on the door keeper and it is a major pain in the *** to get back in.

 

Wow! Someone who read and answered the original question. BRILLIANT!

Thanks. This gives me a start.

 

the kit that i got out of the HELP section didnt require drilling, but theres was an oversized kit you could get that does if you hole is wallered out

 

You have to grind the top or bottom off the oem pin to get it out.

 

wasnt sure about dodge, but the chevy just has a head on one side

 

i ordered the kit from LMC and it seems good but it says to grind of the top of the pin and pound out the rest. i havent done it yet but the pins are for the rear of the hinge. I wanted the one for the front by the spring but the bolt is to long

 

The kit from advance will do your keeper bolt and spring section.

Sorry VW I got carried away and forgot to answer your original question. There are little clips on the pins and I simply used a screwdriver to snap them off then tap the pin out with a punch and hammer. You have to get the punch lined up fairly vertical to drive them out easier without lateral pressure.

 

Interesting. I've examined them and didn't notice any clips. I'll be more thorough before I start driving them out.
