Helpful video - thanks. I broke off the threaded end of one of my hinge pins (17 JKU) and had to replace it. It wouldn't budge while bolted to the door so I followed your process and it worked great. The bigger challenge was getting the broken threaded piece out of the nut. I sacrificed a new pin by threading it onto the nut (ground it to make it thinner to go further into the nut) and "pushed" the broken piece to a point where I could use my Dremel to make a slot on the broken piece and turn it out with a screw driver. Not elegant but it worked.
no need to take hinge off the door. those hinges for most are a real pain to break free. there is also a plate behind the door that can fall inside the door if your not careful. anyway i changed all my pins and wear liners with nylon one.

Thank you, I had no idea about the plate. Hopefully I don't have this issue again but I'll take a look at those liners and nylon
I think the copper is only if it’s worn
You’re probably right, I never figured it out. The original hinge copper was difficult to get out but once I did the hinge fit great. Thank you
I bet the top of that pin looks really sweet after bashing it a steel claw hammer. 👎
