Bob Radford Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I'm collecting the bits to replace the back door on my 1998 110 CSW, doors here and ready for painting and new hinge set has arrived as well. The hinges appear to have been coated, possibly galvanizd but my plan is to stove enamell them. I cannot see how they come apart, the pin has no slotted head, looks like a serated washer under the head with paper in it!! Can anyone tell me how these things disassemble so I can get it coated or is the coating enough and just paint it. I'm trying to keep the dreaded rust runs at bay!! thanks Bob R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Rear side door or rear end [tail] door ? side door hinges can be dismantled by drifting the pin out. rear tail door hinges should have a nut on the bottom & a lock washer, take these off & hinge bolt will push upwards & out, when the hinge is in bits retain the spring & brass ball for rebuilding.

Bob Radford Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Hi Western, it's theh tail gate door hinges. There is no nut on the bottom, just a plain headed bolt at the top with a serated washer underneath it, see http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170461177347&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I haven't seen that type before, must be the latest version, might be possible to file or drill the bolt head off 7 use a hex head bolt to refit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Radford Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 they're a strange one, i think the serated washer is split, tempted to pull it off and see if it releases the bolt. i want to split so i can stove enamell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Radford Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 yes, that's what I'm thinking, I suppose the only way is to get the plier out !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Yep, go for it, would be interesting to see what the washer looks like after removal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Radford Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 it'll be knackered!! Will let you know when i've done it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantd5 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I won those hinges on Eblag and looking closely at the pic it is just as Bob described it.My plans are to deliver it to a local workshop where they will sandblast it and get it sprayed with java black ! I just càn't figure why they used paper as a washer for the hinges !! A landy thing I guess. An attempt to get the pin out will render it knackered for sure.

Bob Radford Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 I don't think it's a paper washer, it peels off very quickly, think this is just the backing paper off the serrated split washer. washers are mounted on a sticky paper so they're easier to handle at the factory where they're made. Probably won't get chance to split mine down until the weekend but will sent pics when I do Bob R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
