I,m replacing my Bathroom door with another, my hinges just had a home made pin which looks to be added, (Not Stock) The door I'm switching is still on the other coach, I can not see how to get the pin out all I can see is a spring and with the door on
you cant get at the screws any hints?

Jay,

The pins don't want to come out of those hinges. I could not get the pins out of mine until I had them in a metal working vise, and then I had to make a long disposable punch, then ream the hinge and manufacture a new pin so I could put the door back on. This time without the silly broken springs.

If you buy Harbor Fright 92630 and then grind the #2 phillips point to be as short as possible, you can remove the screws.
If you rework the hinges, you can re-hang the door like a normal door.

Matt
