Q: How to replace the front door hinge on Buick LaCrosse?
A: The replacement procedure for the front door hinge starts by using masking tape across the fender and door edges to protect the paint from damage. Start by opening the door while supporting it then wipe the area surrounding the hinge before making the hinge marks with a grease pencil. The procedure for replacing front door hinges starts by removing upper hinge bolts through specific sequences (1, 4) from the door side before removing bolts from the specified sequences (1, 4, 5) at the hinge pillar side. The replacement process for a broken lower hinge includes removing its bolts from the door side sequentially (3, 2) followed by the hinge pillar side in this sequence (3, 2). The replacement procedure requires you to install new hinges to the door by matching marks from the hinge pillar with marks on the door. Place the lower hinge bolts on the hinge pillar side according to sequence (3, 2) while tightening them to 33 N.m (24 lb ft). The installation of lower hinge bolts on the door side follows the specified sequence (3, 2) before being torques to 33 N.m (24 lb ft). Use the correct specified sequence of 1, 4, 5 to install the upper hinge bolts to the hinge pillar side before tightening them to 33 N.m (24 lb ft). Then move onto the upper hinge bolts to the door side which must be installed with the specified sequence of 1, 4 before tightening them to 33 N.m (24 lb ft). Before finishing check the door's function while the support is removed and the tape needs to be taken off.
Q: How to replace the rear side door hinge on Buick LeSabre?
A: Before starting the process to install the rear side door hinge you must first remove the door and note the hinge position on the body. The next step requires removing hinge to body fasteners while maintaining securement of the studplate inside the door to avoid any potential dropping. First remove the door trim panel and mark the hinge position on the door before uninstalling the hinge to door fasteners. Installation requires lining up the body side half of the hinge with the marks left on the pillar during disassembly and fastening it to the body structure while referring to the Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. Follow the Fastener Notice in Service Precautions to secure the hinge to body fasteners at 35 N.m (26 lb ft). Install the fasteners on the door half of the hinge by positioning them at the marks which were applied during disassembly and tighten them to 34 N.m (24 lb ft). Apply body color paint to fix any damaged hinge fasteners before attaching the door while adjusting it properly.
Q: How to replace the rear side door hinges on Buick Regal?
A: Beginning the hinge replacement process involves opening the door before supporting it while also taking out the intermediate door hinge bolts as well as the hinge spring. Drill clean the hinge attachment points on both door and mark the spot with a grease pencil. First clean the body pillar hinge mounting surface after removing both door side hinge bolts and the hinge and mark the surface location with a pencil. Cautiously reduce the torque on the cone adjuster bolt because its loosening could cause the bolt to enter the pillar area. The body side hinge requires the removal of two 13 mm bolts before removing the hinge from the side. Begin by putting new hinge pieces alongside marked reference points before coating the bolts with Locktite(R) Blue GM P/N 12345382 or Canadian P/N 10953489 or their equivalent products. After that, install the bolts loosely before normalizing them. Synchronize the new body side hinge with pre-determined marks on the door while adding Locktite(R) Blue GM P/N 12345382 or Canadian P/N 10953489 or equivalent to both the door side hinge bolts. Then loosely install the 13 mm body side hinges. Position the door to install intermediate bolts and then put in the hinge spring and the intermediate door hinge bolts before tightening them to 33 Nm (24 lb ft) and all body side and door side hinge bolts. Take the door support away after you must close the door while performing the final adjustments.
