    Thumbs up Replacing front door hinge pins...

    Hey all, has anyone replaced the door hinge pins on their VN, can it be done alone or will I need extra set of hands?

    you can do it yourself, need a slide hammer and a 10mm bolt thats 40mm long to put in the top pin locator once your pin is out to hold the door in place

    Can definitely be done by one person (replaced a ?Commodore door myself yesterday). Used chassis stands under the door for support. I thought that it was worth buying a dedicated hinge pin removing tool - $45 from Repco.
