moparmusclecars Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) Anywhere to buy just this worn down roller? One side is worn down on the roller, and it pops every time i open or close the door. Can i change this piece without removing the hinge? The fender is now off, so i thought this would be the perfect time to tackle this. Edited October 26, 2016 by moparmusclecars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leskinen Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I couldn't find them anywhere. However they are quite easy to machine and that is what I did. I would strongly recommend removing the hinges. It is annoying work even with them removed.

cgsheen Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 If you're going to refurbish the entire hinge(s), completely removing them is probably the only way. Otherwise I'd advise against removing the hinge from the body. We learned early on that it can be a pain to realign the doors if you remove the hinge from the body. Plus, it's pretty much a two man job. Since then, we only pull the door off the hinge and leave the hinge on the body. But, we're not refurbing the hinges, just doing the body work on the doors (plus painting the jambs and hinges body color)... However, if there's a way to accomplish what you need to do on that detent roller with the fender & door off and the hinge still on the body, that's the way I would do it.
