    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 :)
