I was so happy with my driver's side hinge mirror and how easily the pin came out, that I ordered one for the passenger side. I decided to get a head start on removing the current hing pin and ran into a slight problem to solve. The bottom of the hinge had so many layers of paint on it that I used my abrasive flap grinder to get down to bare metal so I could accurately see the bottom of the pin.



That was the easy part. The next problem I had was that the same removal tool I used on the other side did not line up correctly with the pin. I solved the problem by grinding about 1/8" off the bottom bar of the tool where it contacted the door edge preventing it from lining up. After a couple of trips to the grinder, I saw that everything was lined up. I got the pin started so that I can finish it up when the mirror arrives on Monday.
