Greaseable door hinge pins

Did anyone ever use these ball bearing bushings?

Project White Knight

Not a bad idea. 5/20 or something light would probably be best to soak in? Or lighter like WD40? I just use some straight 10 weight hydraulic oil.

the small holes is where the grease lubes the machined brass bushing.

insert grease here.they feel/look well made. each set is for one door: upper and lower.only my drivers door needs help so one set is all i wanted.
i'm recovering from an injury so it might be a minute until i get to them.

meanwhile, and more pressing,. my coolant crossover has decided to corrode enough to start leaking. and i don't want to spend a ransom on a replacement so i'm gonna come up with a low cost solution by using a HHMMV unit.

Dont do it. The hmmwv ones are a piece of junk.
Takes different stats also.

I would remove yours and clean it up, then use jbweld if you have to for now. I used jb weld on one before and it lasted years.

How did these pins work out?
 
unfortunately they are still sitting on the shelf.
i'm having health issues and want to get that taken care of first. shouldn't be too long. scheduled Monday for the cath lab.
 
So what am I not seeing here as in I cannot see where the door detent roller is on these pins? How does the detent work? Anyone that's installed them fill me in?

Cheers

Nevermind the dumbass post ^ above the roller is of course a seperate pin! Doh.

However any feed back on these greasable pins and has anyone seen or used these ones?

Z28402 - 1988-01 GM Truck Front Door Hinge Repair Set (Greaseable)

Repair your door hinges with the advent of bushing type hinges, it has been the same old story... you can put a little daub, or spray some white grease in the area of the pin and bushing, but you can't get the lube where the friction occurs...
