Door Hinge Pins

Postby DRUMMOND » Mon Feb 20, 2017 8:41 pm

Has anyone tried to repair the out of round pin holes or bush them?
Mine are ovalish they range internally from 10mm - 10.9mm. Seems the metal that the pins are made from is harder then the metal for the hinges + no grease
Too much slack in the drivers door side
