All how to videos should be this straight forward and consise. Years later and it is still helping people. My 2003 s10 is about to get a new driver door bushing and pin set. Under 50 thousand miles on the truck..:-)

[@kellonpitts9080]

Thank's a lot for posting this video Mark. I've probably done about every repair before but never door pins until now & it happens to be a 1998 Blazer. It went smooth with that rope trick! In my town it's hard to find a 2nd person that's sober by the time I get off work to help

[@NINJUNK00]

I swear this was harder than replacing my transfer case 😂

[@juliobermudez1135]

So not having a helper or a garage ceiling to tie off to when supporting the door, I had to get even more creative. I took my A-frame 6 foot ladder and shoved the non stepping side through the window. It fits well with the ladder not fully extended open and the cross bar things being bent up a little. Then I just used rope to tie around the door and up through my ladder to support it.

[@giraffewithtattoos2770]

Thanks for making this video. I do all of my own repairs on the family's vehicles so having someone like you post a step by step repair video really makes my job easier and increases my confidence level.

[@travispitts5350]

I bought a 1984 Chevy s10 for $400 and I adjusted my valve covers and my pushrods and lifters and now it runs great! The only issues are the door pins and lack of radio/ speakers. This video is very helpful for repairing my bushings

[@randymiller9219]

Very helpful video. I've repaired almost everything on my vehicles overs the years but this is my first door pin change. Thanks Mark

[@CulannHS]

I've got a 97 S10 LS with extended cab, full size bed and stepside. This video..was a complete godsend. Thank you so much for posting this. This allowed me to replace the pins and bushings on the driver side relatively easily. Thank you so much for showing the steps, the info about which bushing goes where and what tools you used. Incredibly good video you have here. Thank you again.

[@blue3media]

Thank-you so much for this. I am in a similar situation with my '91 Sonoma and this is the best explanation of how to accomplish this task that I've found.

[@DannyRossa]

Yup, going to tackle this project on my 1985 olds 88 now I know what to expect. Thanks for posting this!

[@BuhlouBear]

Thanks for posting this door pin video, I recently picked up a Blazer which is in need of door pin replacement. I'm looking forward to replacing the pins now, thank you again.

[@SwiftGearheart24]

I've been dealin' with a saggin' door on my '90 F-150 for a while now and this has been a major help in gettin' that fixed. Now the sag is gone! Thank you for the walkthrough. :D

[@justpassingthrough.808]

Did this job years ago with my Dad on a 79 Camaro. Took some effort for both of us so Props to ya. 👍

[@jeremiahheffley4572]

This just made my life way easier, now I can fix my door on my 92 olds cutlass

[@Superduty_59]

Mark thanks for the video. I have done this on my Silverado but watching this video as a refresher. Thanks again!

[@easymoney2414]

Using 3/8 socket to drive the retainer washer was pretty slick, I'm going to try that on my 500 dollar Ford f150 , awesome video!!!

[@tknewmanjr]

outstanding video I just adopted a 92 s10 and your video is the closet thing I found to the hinges I have on my doors .Thanks for sharing

[@chloey111]

Seriously helped so much. (: My first vehicle is a 91 Chevy Silverado, has sagging doors, breaklight problems and a windshield needed replacing. All your videos were perfect.

[@chloey111]

Awesome (: Cant wait to learn more. Hah :D Thanks.

[@Bajaheat]

***** hey I just bought a s10 with sagging door thank yiu for video it was great..I'm having an issue where the heat won't more from the face position the knob moves fine just nothing happens when I change it

[@brucesmith8428]

I was looking to pick up a truck with this problem, seems like an easy fix and the price is right on the truck. Thanks for the video

[@fireinthesky4982]

Sounds a lot like my Blazer. It's a 1996, and it's actually my first vehicle. Door needs to be fixed, and so does a wheel bearing. There's also a bunch of nickel and dime stuff as well, but those are the two biggest problems. It does have a hood latch problem, as well. Bought it for $550, which was pretty good, considering that the engine and transmission were rebuilt 70k miles ago. I like the leather interior on yours, though.

[@maryellenpike2203]

Thanks very much, my '86 S10 door is hanging up more and more - your video is exactly what I need to know.

[@tony20c]

I have an 04 ram 1500 with a saggy door. After watching your how to vid I feel quite confident on doing it myself. You explained everything pretty well.

[@koshnaranek2317]

So far in all the videos I have seen no one mentions you may have to adjust the striker plate for proper latching of the door. On my 2000 Sonoma 2 torx or stardrive screws for adjustment.

[@johnkern7075]

Thanks! I got the pins for $5 and me and a co-worker were able to replace the worn out ones. I have a 2003 GMC Sonoma it's a city vehicle.

[@denisaugustoliossi9117]

I am doing just that on an old car I´ve bought and that helps a lot. Thanks!

[@robplotts9412]

Well my door works. I bought a junkyard door for $20 spray bombed it to match black 91 s10 and your vid helped me remember the process correctly so thank you!👍 puttin the spring that holds door open was a good time lol.

[@Anth4044]

Great video well explained you didn't skip all over the place, I m definitely going to do mine the same THANKS AGAIN 👍👍👍💯💯

[@ccc4596]

Hey Mark, Thank You!! Thank You!! Thank You!! Excellent Video & Excellent Explanation Of The Step By Step Process!!! I Am Now Your Newest Fan!! 😂 Have An Amazing Day!! 🤩🤩

[@tonythetman7536]

Fixed my 87 S10 door with your help, many thanks man 🤘

[@bobbydc33]

Thank you so much for making this video it helped me so much in replacing these pins

[@oobob79]

Thank you for this video! Helped me a lot on my 99 s10 door pins!

[@betacr1t1kal45]

I have a 2000 s10 blazer and I'm doing this on both doors, much appreciated!

[@TomWylie]

Thanks! Really helpful video. Getting ready to tackle this on my 95 gmc pickup & nice to know what to expect.

[@troyrhoades8728]

Thanks man perfect instruction! Fixing to have to do this to mine

[@allclades]

My next project for my S10, thanks.

[@IceInMaWeiner]

Thanks for the video, sagging doors on a mustang is unacceptable, will be going to get the kit tomorrow!

[@davidjordan780]

This video was very informative, i liked that machanic. Thank you for your help.

[@JJ-mz9hl]

I'm very appreciative of people like you who make these videos for those of us also stuck with crappy blazers LOL

[@justpassingthrough.808]

It's not that Blazers are crappy,it's that the bushings are made of brass and replaceable. The pin is made of steel which is harder then brass so the brass wears away before the steel. Without bushings you'd have to weld on new hinges.

[@JJ-mz9hl]

@@justpassingthrough.808 Bro I've spend far more than the car is even worth on repairs because it can't run for more than a couple months, and I took excellent care of it. Not to mention all the design flaws inside the car, aside from shitty bushings everything breaks on the inside. Mirrors, seat handles, radio knobs, steering wheel, dashboard etc.

[@justpassingthrough.808]

@@JJ-mz9hl Sorry to hear you're having all those problems man.

[@68firstlove]

good video and excellent score on the blazer..a trip or two to the pick and pull for the hood latch...done!!

[@cgraley888]

Thank heavens I found this. You are a lifesaver!

[@gabrianapadilla2293]

Great video! I'll being doing mine tomorrow. Thanks

[@BryanBurch]

Mark, thank you. This helped me with my 1969 Oldsmobile 442.

[@SuperEric0727]

Nice video! I'll be trying this tonight... Thanks!

[@Kaibil66]

Mark this is a great video thank you for uploading it, i have a chevy astro and uses the same pin system except that the pins dont have that ring at the end ... but a round clip type in the middle of the pin. My van is a 97 what year is that blazer?

[@1995--]

Great video and full of info!!! Straight to thr chase too!

[@jonbeams9786]

I need to do this thank you for the upload. Will show mine as well.

[@iGy11972]

Great video, saved me a lot of time. Thanks bud. 👍

[@tomsharman3136]

Super helpful mate, thanks for this!

[@DISCOFROMNOWON]

Very nice one man operation I sure wished they made a metal bushing cause mine keep breaking (ovaled hole)you didnt show the battle getting the spring back in but after mine popped back out I now enjoy the door closing itself as I walk away with my arms full. Ps when the spring shot out one day t sounded like the window had been hit with a 22 rifle bullet. Real nice video perfect

[@robertrivasarroyo1174]

I just got a 2000 Blazer 4X4 for $400, just needed to clean it up and some minor repairs. Truck is very nice and mint condition.

[@lolof9227]

Well said. Being resourceful is important.

[@snowman6686]

Only video I watched that pointed out that the bushings get installed on the truck half of the hinge for the top hinge AND on the door half of the hinge for the bottom. Nice job.

[@gnatatrobina]

Great video I have a sagging driver door on my 66 GTX. Looks simple enough.

[@iguesi]

Great instruction. Thank youi!

[@river1403]

I'll use this when I fix my 04 Blazer's door! Thanks!

[@jasongrooming36]

Thank you for posting this!

[@JeremyBorumComposer]

Thanks for this. I was about to have my dealer do this, but it looks easy.

[@Mark-gg6iy]

Excellent videography.

[@joseguadalupejuarezgaytan6082]

Mark Jenkins good and great video excellent good for pick up ford f 150, thankyou, zacatecas, mexico.

[@lonewolfoutdoors3824]

So Mark I need to this on a blazer zr2 I might be buying but all the new pins and bushings I've found online only go up to 1994 will those still work in an 03 zr2?

[@st8120]

Good video headin to the pick n pull to pick up a door now thanks buddy

[@benzo13]

Nice pointing out of the bushing's locations!

[@takingu2skoo]

cool you made it look easy. thank you

[@David-qz7kt]

Does the pin/ bushing replacement do anything for the elongated holes on the half that's welded on the door?

[@dm-qx9fy]

Good video....On another note - I like the insulation you put on your garage ceiling. What is it, thinking about doing that myself...I live in a cold environment.

[@irredeemabledeplorable5227]

Nice to watch an INFORMATIVE how -to without a lot of unrelated CHATTER.

[@gandl2123]

Mark, Great video. Wish all were so easy to follow...I also watched others before I attempt to fix the door. I did notice that you tap on the new bushings, once when screwdriver soft end and then with hammer...I'm sure this is not a problem if you are careful and have half a brain...but thought you might like this tip, was watching a guy and when he got to the bushing install part he just stuck a bolt nut and two washers in there and placed the bushing where is was to go...then rant the bolt with one washer into the hole in the bushing and hinge, then put washer and nut on other end of the bushing and other side of the hinge hole...then just tightened up the bolt and forced the bushings into the holes. Thought that was pretty cool.

[@ajai01niner19]

Gave me an idea!. thanks for the vid!

[@madmurdock2968]

Nice work!

[@SolidSnake4Ever2003]

Is the spring really needed? My passenger door is still perfect on my 92 firebird but my driver one sags down bad and doesn't close right, it's missing the spring, however in the center console I found the old spring. As long as the door will finally shut I'd be fine, in case the spring is alot of trouble to put back in too

[@Raheem1992Oneal]

The door pin and bushing kit I got for my 87 Monte Carlo SS didn't come with those rings. Does that mean they weren't necessary or I have to buy them separately?

[@bostonbrotherhood3763]

Your video leaves out literally the hardest part - installing the door spring.

[@cinnamongmc5430]

Yep!

[@joshuahevener7803]

Thanks for the video Mark! I have the same issue with my '01 GMC Jimmy. However, I procrastinated so long on fixing the pins, the weight of the loose door has damaged the metal behind the striker plate (to the point I have to use a prybar to straighten it so the door will catch. Any tips on repairing that?

[@Evan2]

Joshua Hevener That's exactly what happened to my 97 Bravada! The door has been sagging and just today the metal behind the striker plate completely caved in and the door will no longer latch. I had to pry it back out again but it's pretty badly damaged.

[@mahmoudomran5262]

Very helpful,thanks a lot

[@etyrnal]

Two questions, one, would it make any sense to put grease inside the bushings first? 2, on a Mercury Grand Marquis, 1995, it appears that the pins have been sort of riveted in or flared in, and because of the curvature of the door there's no way to get a drill above it, is there another way to get those pins out? Someone suggested using a sharp chisel and chiseling the flare of the rivet off from the side, do you know if that actually works or would that just destroy a chisel and change the shape of the end of the pins so that you won't be able to get it out anymore?

[@gunny172]

Good video I Used it as a gide for my GMC jimmy

[@edrosa5079]

I got one just like it same color my spring shot out today lol thanks for the video

[@juanreyna6278]

pleasant stuff. Good job.

[@MrWells-tj2qo]

Very very big help 👍🏾

[@AmpedBud2988]

A small bolt, nut, and 2 washers help install the shims too. Makes them go in evenly. Get the shim most of the way in and just tap them to seat them in place.

[@Macchris58]

Excellent video ! i guess it's the same or so for an IROC 88 ?

I have a question on my passenger side of the 4-door Blazer the pain that rotates from the door onto the body of the car

[@edstransitscott9186]

Great job, Sir

[@cinnamongmc5430]

So, the flange sides of the bushings go BETWEEN the 'arms' of the door & truck hinges? Seems like that would destroy the bushings quicker with the opening & closing of the doors.

[@DailyBrusher]

Thanks, Mark!
