New to the forum and looking for advice.
I recently purchased a 97 two door yukon and have been restoring and customizing it. Im looking to replace my door hinge pins which i already purchased. However once looking closer at my hinges i noticed the roller pin and head is whats causing the issue. The roller pin head is bent at an extreme angle on both doors which has angled the face of the door strap that stops the door in half open and fully open. The piece which the spring pushes against to keep it pressed against the roller head. So my question is i can purchase the roller pin but what to do about the now sloped/deformed door strap? Replace the roller pin and smooth the angle out with a dremel or die grinder? This may remove to much material and no longer contact the roller head. Or purchase new hinge assemblies and install or cannabilize for the needed parts. Not sure if the new hinges will come apart to get the door strap section i may need to replace. I've read drilling the welds from the old hinge and bolting in a new hinge is a pretty involved job. Any help or advice is appreciated!
