Grease the contact points in the hinge, and your new pins. Have your assistant move the door inward while you align the holes in the hinge brackets.

Remove the door spring behind the hinge — between the hinge and the door itself — by locating the end of the spring and inserting the screwdriver between it and the hinge.

How do you remove the door release trim?

You’ll start by carefully (we mean it, this stuff is old) removing the door release trim by using a panel tool or small flat blade screwdriver to pry between the trim and the inner cup at the various pry points. Pay attention, stay patient, and you’ll be fine. Next, you’ll pry off the screw cover and remove two 9/32″ screws from the armrest cup.

Can you remove the switch panel on a Chevy truck?

Forewarned is forearmed. If your truck has power windows, you’ll need to remove the switch panel. If you have good ol’ roll-up windows, you’ll have to use a (clean) shop rag in a “shoeshine” motion to release the “C” clip before you can remove the crank.
