The driver side door on my SEE at some point had a frozen hinge. It was "fixed" by cutting the hinges and leaving stubs. The only problem is that the door will not stay on. So I have been working on driving out the hinge pins to replace them. **** are they in there tight. I have bent punches and broken hardened chisles. I have tried heat, PB Blaster, and I am currently trying to drill them out, but no love. Eventually I think I can drill out enough of the two that were on the door but, and I got one of the two on the frame out.
So now I am wondering if I am heading down the wrong path.
Has anyone had this problem with a door and what did you do.
I have gone past the point of no return. So I will either need to make the existing system work, or weld something else in its place, but I am dubious about the prospects of making that work.
Ridicule is acceptable if it comes with a workable solution.
