Is there an easy way to change the door hinge springs on a 69? I have one of those tools but no way is it gonna fit in there. Any tricks to it? pictures?

 

you talking bout little spring compressor tool?

 

not really little, i can sort of get it in there but forget getting a wrench on the tool. is there another tool out there?

 

I just used mine on an 84 Camaro to replace hinge pin. Open it as wide as it will go and beat it into spring with hammer. It will compress enough for spring to come out. Be careful with it after spring is out though, don't want that sucker flying out. Worked like a Champ for me, once you use it you will never have problem doing hinge pins again

 

I forgot to say Harbor Frieght sells them for like 6 bucks

 

im not doing the pins and the hinges are still on the car i jsut want to change the spring. carefully.

 

Why you changing spring? I didn't try but I did open door and could put tool in from topside of spring and still get at little nut to compress tool. Should be enough to get spring out.
