It will get a bit cold when the door falls off- then go back down the road 80 yards and pick up the pin
Consider yourself lucky. If it slips right down again, leave it be. The rest of us normal people, the pins refuse to come out even at the biggest hammer is applied. I almost lost that battle and even though I won in the end, I would never want to fight that one again.
Push it back and add circlip like on the other two pins, which are installed upside down. Best Martin
I think you have already a stainless pin here....lucky you. Like said above put a grease gun and push it back in place. Guido
Except, that they don't rust, I don't think, that stainless is a good idea for such an application. Too soft. If not permanently lubricated, they will wear faster than the stock highgrade steel pins. If lubricated well, the stock pins won't rust solid. I hit mine with the grease gun once in two years. No problems. Except the upper pin on the driver's side, which meanwhile shows a little bit of play. I hope, it's the pin, which is worn and not the hinge bores. I have new ones on my shelf since years, but I cringe, when thinking about doing the job Best Martin
You will be AMAZED at how many profanities you can string together in a sentence! Bottom pin, not bad at all but the top Pin is another story. Was able to put a nice chip in the edge of the front fender. Took a month of letting touch up paint dry then reapplying and light polish to fix.
It easily tapped back in place… Not sure if that is a good or a bad thing… Curious though what makes you think it’s stainless as I have no way of telling
http://www.superformance.co.uk/308/body.html see door hinge pin. Was stainless in the past. When looking at the picture, looks normal steel to me now. Did they change the metal in the mean time ? Guido
Maranello Concessionaires always supplied high grade steel. Maybe Superformance accepted the fact, that stainless is too soft for this application. But SF is no reference for me anyway. Best Martin
