This is my first post here so be gentle with me. I just ordered replacement trunk hinge pivots from JWest (last night actually) and since it is a beautiful day today I thought I would remove the old, wallowed out pivots. Since I haven't received them yet I am assuming I just need to drill out the spot welds. Anybody have any suggestions?

Have you removed the rear lid and the springs? You need to do that first, and BE CAREFUL with the torsion springs, they can break or amputate fingers.
After that, yes, just carefully grind or drill out the spot welds, clean up the corrosion, prep it with oxysolve, ospho, naval jelly, whatever you prefer, and paint it. |
