Thanks for replying

I priced out the pin and bushing and there are two reason as to why I want to replace the complete hinge.
1. A used hinge for a 2006 Ford is the same price as the bushing and pin.
2. I would have to remove the hinge in order to replace the pin and bushing. In talking to the Ford people I may have to drill out the hinge bushing hole to make the bushing fit.

So with all that said, I might as well change the complete hinge.

So back to the original question; how do I remove the bolts securing the hinge to the body. There isn't much room.

Regards

Charlie
