Question 3

How to replace the rear side door hinge on Chevrolet Tahoe?

Accepted Answer

The first step to replace the rear side door hinge involves removing all panels while eliminating extra sealant from the current hinge before marking its location on the hinge pillar. Use 100 grit or finer sandpaper to smooth the existing hinge while finding its four pillar welds but avoid penetrating the door with the centers of punch marks. Drill holes through the hinge at each marked spot using a 13 mm rotabroach hole saw. Additional help can be provided through chiseling to detach the door from the hinge. Welded metal needs complete removal from the door plane to achieve a flat condition for the service hinge to fit. Repair all broken door sections before cleaning the mounting surface areas of the backing plate and installing the service hinge within scribe-marked areas. Drill 3 mm (1/8 in) pilot holes first and follow up with drilling 11.5 mm (29/64 in) holes for the studs at each correct door location marked by center punch. The process requires cleanups of each bare metal area followed by application of approved corrosion-fighting primer and complete application of full-bodied caulk onto the hinge mounting points for adequate sealing purposes. Secure the hinge to the pillar nuts at a torque of 25 N.m (18 lb ft) and then position the hinge alongside the backing plate through the door holes before finishing surfaces according to need and installing sealants followed by putting back all components. The procedure for bodyside hinge replacement involves panel removal before sealer elimination and existing hinge sanding and weld marking with a center punch. Drill through the hinge base only and finish by removing the hinge. Start by cleaning the pillar surface then position the service hinge followed by center punching the stud positions before drilling pilot holes and then drilling for the studs. The technician must clean bare metal surfaces first then apply anti-corrosion primer before installing the stud (GM P/N 15017230) into the hinge with fish wire (GM P/N 15017229). Install the hinge to the pillar using supplied nuts before tightening the stud with nuts (GM P/N 11516746) to 25 N.m (18 lb ft) while cleaning surfaces for subsequent refinishing that includes application of sealers to be followed by reinstallation of all related panels and components.
