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?

A important thing I forgot to add to my post, is to measure the location of the threaded hole in the bracket. This is where the new one is supposed to end up. I know James' part has some adjustment, but getting it close to begin with is always best.
The other thing you can do is to put the hinge brackets back on the decklid, place it in position and then mark the location. If your brackets were re-welded this may be the best thing to do anyway. |
