Review on 🚪 Steck Manufacturing Car and Light Truck Door Spring Tool (Model 21910) by Isaac Maze

Relatively easy work. The push-in door hinge spring compression tool worked great. Lubricate the adjusting nut as recommended in the instructions. The tool slightly compressed the door spring. I used a jack to support the weight of the door and a motorcycle tie to hold the door to the jack and my wife held onto the door to secure it. First I removed the door spring with the socket tool. He then pulled out the hinge pin clips, then tapped on the hinge pins to move them a bit, then grabbed the door and knocked the pins all the way out. With the door on the jack, moving the door a few inches away from the car, hammer out the pin bushings one at a time with a 3/8 length extension and a flat head screwdriver. Install one at a time to ensure the bushing is properly aligned. Then replace the door, align the pin holes and press the pins onto the end with light hammer blows and hard hits to lock the pin teeth in the hinge hole (again, correct alignment required). Pin sockets greased, then door spring installed. The work took less than an hour. The woman is not too tired to hold on to the door :)
