Re: 32 900 Hinge Pin Removal

I've discussed this with "mcsilves" outside of this forum but haven't been able to help him. 1932 models used a different hinge pin arrangement than 33-34 (last year for external hinge pins). For what it's worth here's a picture of the 33-34 style from the Packard Service Letters. When I removed mine to mount a hinge pin mirror no special tool was needed, I just unscrewed the cap and tapped the pin out with a pin punch and a couple of light taps after supporting the weight of the door from below with a jackstand. That's essential to remove the side forces on the pin, especially so for the top hinge on doors with only 2 hinges.
