the door in order to separate the hinge from the body pillar or the door.
7. Remove the hinges from the door or the body pillar.
Installation Procedure
1. Deburr the holes on the inside of the hinge pillar or the door in order to insure the proper seating of the hinge and the backing plate. Inspect the
body pillar and the door in order to ensure that the hinge seating zone on the body pillar or the door is flat.
2. Paint the inner and the outer surfaces of the hinge pillar or the door at the hinge mounting zone.
3. Coat the mating surface of the hinge with a medium bodied sealer.
