Is there anyone that has a hinge pin tool that I can buy or rent? I tried pm SCVW about one but haven't heard back from him. I live in southwestern Georgia.

I did the same just the other day with no response. I also would like to rent one if anyone cares to oblige.

If you have access to an air compressor, you can use an air hammer with the proper sized punch on it, that is what I've used & not had any issues,,,

Okay. Thanks everyone for the replies. I have ordered a bit for my air hammer that is small enough. I was hoping to use the tool so I didn't risk damaging the paint but my car is already a patchwork of rustreformer and paint so what is adding a little more I guess. It will need to be painted one day anyway.
