need to replace my driver door hinge pins, the bushings are all worn and the door drops about an inch when its open, big pain in the butt to close, I have a new set that r suppose to fit my 01 Cherokee but the stock ones seem a little different. was wondering if any of you replaced these before, and how the old pins should be removed, I don't see a snap ring on them anywhere that would hold them in place like the new ones have

i believe the stock door hinge pins are pressed in....i think the only way to remove them is to drill/ grind them out

thanks for the link, ended up removing the whole door, which means taking the panel off and unhooking the wires etc, . tried the air hammer to knock them out and nothing waste of time and money. used a 1 1/2" cutting wheel to cut the pins and wedged them out with ease. getting the hinge back in with the new bushings was a bit of a pain, tight fit, that's what she said lol, but it was a bonus having the door detached from the hinge i was able to wiggle it into position and slide the new pin in. note I had a issue with the new pins the teeth at the bottom wouldn't set/fit into the hinge, ended up using a hand file until I could hammer them into place. after that, bolted the door back up and adjusted to a perfect fit wasn't really too hard, just remove, cut, and replace. did it by myself just braced up the door with something
