I've taken the hinge off and removed the roller. I am trying to remove the pin. What a pain.

I saw a great youtube video from Matt that made it look easy. Wish I could contact him. He's not very far from me.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Are you referring to the small pin which retains the check roller to the larger pin; or the larger pin which actually goes through the hinges?

I serviced the driver hinge assembly last fall on my S10; including the entire detent / check roller sub-assembly. I just bought all new parts. I have no desire to ever attempt removing the small pin for the check roller.

ETA
On the S10, removal is a destructive process, so there really is no choice but total replacement.

I think if you cut the pin and then drive it out it's easier.

I agree. That is what I did.

Do you have a link to the video?

Here is the video that I was referring to.


I ended up bringing the hinge to a repair shop. I sent them the video for reference.

Added to the sticky!

This looks like a perfect job for a slide hammer. If I were to do this, I would use the slide hammer (with vice grip attachment) for removing that pin.



(This is the perfect once-in-a-long-while type of tool to get from Harbor Freight for a low investment.)

Bringing this back from the dead. I've tried following the process in this video but I cannot get the pin out. I've tried heating the hinge with a torch and using a punch and hammer but it's just beating up the hinge. It's like the pin is welded in. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Hinge or a replacement roller?

Dorman makes replacement hinges. I'm not sure about the roller.

I put these in and regreted it. I would have preferred the non-greasable ones. The non-greasable busings are a huge upgrade and its impossible to get a standard grease gun on these fittings once the hinge is reinstalled. (So you probably won't be aplying much grease.)
