Living up to the motto of the garage. “We never do anything right the first time”

At first I thought you would just weld the edge of the hole and redrill it. But that would be extremely difficult to drill into the weld precisely in the right spot. Then I thought you would remove and replace the entire hinge, which would also be quite difficult to maintain alignment. I know someone who had this done by a shop and they charged him $1500. Your way seems to be quite workable.

Thought about welding it up but knew I’d never get the new hole in the right spot. 👍🏻

I just did my hinge pins and bushings the other day. I got to it before the holes in the hinges got bad. Door shuts like butter now.

[@wrongwaygarage]

Awesome! It’s totally worth the effort. ✌🏻

[@ClintsStreetMachines]

Great video. Excellent solution. That door striker though.

[@wrongwaygarage]

I try not to look at it... makes me wanna cry every time I see it. 😢

[@HardCoreGarage]

Yes we want to see the food truck transformation.!

[@wrongwaygarage]

We’ll probably get to it. Life got in the way again. 😖

[@HardCoreGarage]

Its backwards with a purpose! Words to live by!

[@wrongwaygarage]

Agreed.

[@desmond1530]

I think it’s unnecessary labor. Pull out the pin. Fill the gap with JB Weld as you fit in the new bushings. Let bushings set overnight with the pin in place and the door supported with a jack. This has held for 5 years of daily use. The top bushing needed to be replaced at 3 years and popped right out, with the JB weld intact.

[@wrongwaygarage]

That definitely was one of the options that I considered. Of course, then I would have missed out on a legitimate reason to go to the junkyard and check all the other goodies that were available! 😂

[@s10s10two]

Let's check out that food truck. also a walk around on those vetts

[@wrongwaygarage]

Honestly, I should have already done that walk around by now. I guess I was just waiting to see if anyone showed interest in them. ✌🏻

[@Jason_Bacon]

Nothing against us... Sir, your ass was against us.

[@wrongwaygarage]

😂😂😂 My bad😖

[@HardCoreGarage]

Press the bushing in with a socket on the back and a c clamp.

[@wrongwaygarage]

Oh sure... wait till I screw it up THEN tell me how! 😂😂😂😂

[@HardCoreGarage]

Ive always busted them trying to tap them in.

[@clendo87]

Yes we want food truck content.... Question is did you learn from your mistake of how the pins went in?

[@wrongwaygarage]

😂only time will tell😖

[@williamhannabass2332]

Show the trailer build

[@wrongwaygarage]

👍🏻

[@josephniswonger5215]

How about a socket and ratchet to use on your handy dandy spring tool?

[@wrongwaygarage]

There wasn’t enough room between the bolt and the door jam. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@mikewood1421]

I mean....coulda been worse lol....looks like it's on its way to getting patched up!

[@wrongwaygarage]

I am a firm believer that things could always be worse!
