what size is the torque bit to remove the door hinges on xj

 

I think this is the first time I've seen you ask a question instead of giving answers...LOL. Went outside to check for you and it's a T40 Torx on my 96 XJ.

 

thank i just did the same and mines the same on 89

 

funny thing its not for me lol

 

ive asked a few dont get to many responses thank

 

having the same vechicle for 15years youve pretty much been thru it twice and been in the auto field over 35 years i like to thro my ideas out there ya no

 

What is up with Jeep and the Torx thing any way?

 

I don't think there is enough room for the hinges to close properly with regular bolts. Thats probably why.
I had a tool just for that at one time. As usual things grow legs around here..

 

friend bought new xj on here doors were off has hinges no pins could not remember the size jy run get complete hing easyer tha gettin that small pin out

 

any body now where to buy the pins

 

I couldnt find any so I made one out of a peice of rod I had around that was the same diameter. Spot welded it to the bottom which is kind of questionable, but how often do you take the doors off unless youve got tube or half doors

 

All the threads on door pins seem to say the same. Generic replacement pins are available from auto part stores but you need to drill/ream the hinge to accept the new pins.
