[T3] [Non-DoD Source] Re: Hinge pins

[Keith Park]

The hinge isnt stuck its worn out, but getting the pin out of the section
where it doesnt rotate sound like a chore.

Keith,

Do you have any Kroil?  It's like PB Blaster only better!  And I really like
PB Blaster, but Kroil is even better, but more expensive.
I had a passenger door that both hinges were froze stuck (from never being
used) and I kept applying a few drops every couple of days for about a week
and it worked lose.

Yes, there is a special tool to remove VW hinge pins, but if they are really
stuck it might not work.

Keith I have some rusty doors I pulled off that 72 square we used for parts
a few years ago. They may have some good ones. But I'll have to dig through
a lot of junk off to get hands on them. Let me check and see this evening
and I'll get back with you.
