A few months back I backed my open door into a small tree and bent the upper door hinge. I got a brand new replacement for 60 bucks and I'm ready to put it on.


However, there are three bolts holding the hinge to the truck. 2 that go in from the outside and 1 that goes in from the inside up under the dash.

Does anybody have any tips for removing the one on the inside?

Looking at it, it looks like I'll have to remove the whole parking brake assembly to even get to it. Is that the only way?

Thanks for any help.

 

Don't know about access, I had the same problem..... turned out my bolt from the inside was broken though. (I wanted to adjust the 'new to me' door I had just put on, to replace the rusted out one.)

Take the door completely off, it makes life a lot easier.....

Getting to that inside bolt may be an exercise, take the inner trim off, and get a flashlight, and see what you think.

 

I pulled the plastic trim off and went ahead and pulled the three bolts holding the parking brake pedal assembly and swung it down a little bit out of the way. Its pretty damn tight under there but I can get to the bolt now

 

Coolness. Good Luck!
