Door hinge pins on Super Beetle

Aug 08, 2005 1 Replies

Do they come out the top or the bottom? I'm going to make a press to get them out but didn't want to shove them out the wrong way. I lube the hell out of one hinge and it keeps getting so tight I'm afraid I'll start cracking the body around the hinge.



Pins are driven up -- I had to take mine off recently and used John Henry's idea:

for the words "hinge pin". I did not have to heat up my hinge to getit out. Not sure if a super has a different arrangement, but it appears that the factory tool is the same for both according to my manual -- most likely the hinges are the same as well, but maybe someone here knows for sure.
