Hello I have a 2002 yukon that I need to replace the front door hinge pins. I have the short split pin type. I purchased the repair kit. I need some advice on how to remove the old pins. I tried to drive them but with no success. I looked on line and only could find the reomval procedure for the full length pins. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks

It's on ebay for 20 bucks. They send you a download through email or a cd in the mail. Amazing price considering the range of vehicles it covers. It's the one the service department people use at the dealership. It goes back to the 80's or so and covers all gm vehicles.
