door pins

pimpslk · 07-21-2007

i feel silly asking this but i tried getting the door pins off so i could replace them with aluminum ones. i assumed that they just screw on and off. i tried with my fingers to unscrew them but they wouldn't budge. i wanted to make sure before i took some pliers to them. is there any other way to get them off.

It's hard to twist by hand, wrap it with a towel and use pliers to twist it off, it comes off easily that way.

thanks for the replies. i did get it off. i had to wrap the door pin with a cloth and pliers. it came off with a little pressure. the aluminum door pins look really good. thanks again, pimpslk
