I had to increase the size of the dimple to get it to stay on one pin but it worked quite well. Perhaps a version with a .401 shank for use with a long barrel air hammer would be even better.

This tool Made removing oem roller pin easier and install. But still may need to be a bit longer for installing new roller pin.

Today, February 19th, 2017 replaced the door hinge pins and bushings on my 1998 GMC K1500 Single Cab. I used this tool and the door spring compressor and bushing tool both from the same company and I was impressed about how much easier these tools made the job. Their made of a cheap metal and began to mushroom at the tip of both this tool and the bushing tool after a few hits. The tool was more suited for removing the hinge pins than reinstalling them. I would most definitely recommend these tools to the weekend warrior and the professional technition working on door hinges.

Seems like a good idea, but only works some times. I had two hinge pins to remove. One came out like it was supposed to, but the other one refused. Even after wailing on it with a 20 pound sledge hammer, it simply bounced off and the hinge pin refused to budge. There is too much spring in this tool to transmit 100 of the impact force to the pin.
