How do you replace a hinge pin bushing on a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee front door?

In: Jeep Grand Cherokee [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

You can purchase replacement hinge pin and bushing kits from Napa, O'Reilly, Etc. Part numbers are: Dorman 38422 NAPA 675-1594 They are about $5.99 per pin, (2) required per door.

Then you have to install as listed below on digitalrevo.

There is a hinge kit available from dealers- my understanding is that it's pretty expensive, and replaces the complete hinge, so it requires welding a new hinge to the door. My door was rusted out at the bottom anyway, so I bought a complete replacement from a salvage shop.
