hey guys i just purchased the roller and detent pin kit and it said need minor drilling and tapping the bottom is already drilled and machined on the end i have not disassembled the hinges yet just trying to do some pre job planning any of you guys done this before(i know you have)if you could give me a procedure to go by it sure would be apreciated.thanks jeff

As I recall, on my 68 all I had to do was grind the bottom off of the old posts to remove the rollers. To reinstall, I just slid in the replacement parts and peened over the ends with a hammer and punch.

I don't remember having to modify or drill anything??

Getting that detent spring back in without a compressor will be a huge PITA though. You might want to find a body shop that has a compressor, or buy one yourself.

The door hinge spring compressor can be bought through Classic Industries. Not sure of the cost though.

hey guys thanks for the info does not sound to difficult(yea right).thanks jeff
