You have to cut or drill out the old pin. Then replace it with this;

That'll work for me, but I didn't notice he said 96. I know I've seen something around about them. I know the older style used something like glued on hinges, and I know they can fail. Is it that or the pin?

I have the same problem with the sagging door. It is usally the shim inside the hinge that the pin is in. The kit I posted (link) provide a new shim, also the old pin has to be cut out and the pin in the kit has a c-clip so removal is easier after the replacement. I plan to change all the pins just for this option.

That link had the pin and bushing measurements. Measure your pins and see if they can be used.
I had a door pin problem on my Dodge truck. I found the pins at O'Reilly. Check there if you have that store in your area. Mine required a little drilling but it was no problem to install.
BTW, be gentle when closing your door. I would bring my door up to the latch and lift and pull to close. If you try, slamming the door a little harder you could break the door latch. Then you really have a problem. More down time and more costly.
