I have decided to go ahead and rebuild my door hinges before i paint. is cutting the pin head off the best way to remove them, looks like it to me.
 
I took out the top hinge and i had to bore the hinge out and then press in the bushing. to mske a long story short the pin won't go through the bushing. i hsve efectively shunk the bushing id. anybody had this problem?
 
I did that on one bushing. They're brass or copper so they get messed up kinda easily. I wound up buying another kit and putting a new bushing in. But, I used a file to slightly enlarge the hole that the bushing fit into so I didn't have to force it in as much. For me, forcing the new bushing in the slightly too small hole is what caused my problem.

I just bought new ford hinges. i don't like the copper-brass bushings. i may look into getting some bushings made.
