Door hinge pin removal tool Price: $180 Update 1/22/10

*I will start shipping out the tools on Thursday 1/28/10. I have a limited number ready to ship as most from this batch were preordered. Let me know if you want one. Thanks for everyones patience.*

*Check out the picture of a new way to remove a mirror arm.*

You will NOT have to remove a bus bumper or the running boards from a beetle to remove the lower door hinge pin.

This tool will not remove a bus mirror arm but it will remove the mirror arm that is usually used with an elephant ear mirror. I had been asked by a couple people to make a "bus only" tool that would remove the mirror arm and cab door hinges. I made a prototype for this but it wasn't successful at all. The problem is that there is not enough surface area for the head of the tool to seat against the top of the hinge. The base of the mirror arm is nearly as wide as the hinge itself. So I have stuck with what the tool does best and that is both beetle and bus cab door hinge pins. I also have been told that the original VW hinge tools will not remove the mirror arms either.

I have tested this tool out on quite a few beetle and bus hinges and it has worked great. The tool body is made of solid steel with a hardened pivot pin. The threaded bolt is also made of hardened tool steel with a polished end for extended tool life. The tool comes with a complete set of hardened pusher pins.

Sorry for the beetle only picture but the doors are off of my truck and I didn't have my camera when I tried it on a bus.

Thanks to all who have given me advice and input along the way.
