Door hinge spring

Howdy,<br><br>So the spring sprung out of the hinge <br><br>The hinge seems to still be in decent shape and I have the spring still. Do I have to take apart the whole door? Is there some way of putting it back in? I can manage to get it back in.<br><br>Thanks

Re:Door hinge spring

Before you put the spring back, check the brass bushings. On mine, someone at the factory had put the bushings in upside downm so that they just fell out.<br>george

Re:Door hinge spring

How do I put it back in? Do I have to take the whole hinge out? Or is there a spring compressor or something that you can put it back in?<br><br>Thanks

a company called "steck" makes a spring compressor for the older gm hinges not sure if it will work on ours though but you can find one at most napa stores and try it.
