I have lots of slop in the trunk hinges what's the best way to disassemble them and what the best place to order new pivots?

They can be a challenge to remove if there is a lot of rust in the screws. I understand that some of the repop hinge units are not a good fit so you should check that out before purchasing. Mine are a bit sloppy as well and I am considering trying to build up the worn surfaces with weld and grinding to fit.

Brattons, Snyders, or Berts to get parts.
