Door Hinge Tool
« on: July 28, 2014, 09:41:17 am »
If you have replaced a lower door hinge spring you will need this tool. It is available at NAPA @22.50$ I also found that it will work on the spring on the rear brake cam. This is the spring on 84-87 calipers. I have not tried it on an 88. I also found the tool at Harbor Freight for apx. 9.00$.

This is probably the same as the tool sold by Rodney Dickman for about $15. It compresses door hinge and parking brake springs.

It will work on an '88.
You can't fix stupid but, you can adjust it with a 2x4.

Harbor freight has them on sale right now for $6.97. I'm going to stop by and see if my local store has one.
