    Default Replacing VP Doors

    Gday,

    Had someone run into the side of our VP the other week and smashed the passenger side doors in.

    So i'm now in the process of changing them over. But I can't remove the Door Pins without destroying them because of the condition of the doors.

    Does anyone know of a tool I can get to remove them easily ?

    And I have also been trying to source some new Door Pins but I have tried so many places but no one can get them!

    Anyone have a part number for these ?

    Thanks for your help.

    Cheers,

    Glen

    I went into my local Holden the other day and got door pins, they a couple of them in stock behind the counter ready for action. He says they allways keep them in stock there was no problem ordering in a couple more for me too, which he did. Out of all the places you tried to get parts for your Holden, were any of those places actually Holden ?

    Did the new pins fix the clunk/rattle that you hoped they would?

    I am going to find/buy the device to pull the pins out first but I have every part in the good old Holden spare parts paper bag on the passenger seat
