I've needed to do this for about 10 years. Been thinking of buying the cheap engine hoist at Harbor Freight to support the top of the door so I can do it alone. I've got no other way to support the top of the door. Be very interested to see how the new bushings work out.

I screwed a hook into the beam in my car port and hung it from there with a strap

i discovered the large bushings were shot too! either from me putting them in too roughly or from pounding the pins out. so now im making a set of those, the stock ones are so delicate they practically fall apart in your hands!!!!

Well the door still sags but it may have fixed it just enough to stop the leak and the play in the door is gone. I watered it pretty good and nothing got in, fingers crossed.

Pics of my beauties and the gross ones that came out

I wish there was a way for me to make that happen and I would do the same with some ratchet straps.


Making them? Nice!
Yep here is mine next to the old junk and a pic of the destroyed ones, junk metal look how porous the metal is

Does this mean you're keeping it? (j/k)

Are you making extras of those bushings? I see a potential market for you.

Just to summarize for everyone everything is tight with my new bushings. bushings to hinges and pins to bushings its all legit now but the sag is still there. Possible bent hinges is what i'm thinking.......
