Door hinges



Use the method described in the Bentley for the ring gear rivets. Drill m=
ost
of the way through then push the bottom of the hole with a long drift. Ju=
st
hitting it at the top will deform the pin and make matters worse. Besides
drilling will weaken the pin and allow it to compress some what.

Good luck,

Rick Alexander
