Brian,

I enjoyed talking to you at some length at Warren and I think you have a lot of knowledge and experience to contribute, given your long history of Packard ownership and hands-on expertise in dealing with various issues.

Yes, I enjoyed talking with you at Warren, as well - that is, until you repeatedly pressed me to rejoin PAC, but let's get to the gist of your post.

I have to say, though, that your choice of words in responding to Owen-Dyneto's info on hinge-pins was unfortunate and insulting.

We don't need that sort of verbiage in the Packard world.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion - as am I. However, when someone comes into a thread - within minutes after a recommendation was made for a tool that would help get the job done - and they write:

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).

...perhaps you can explain to me exactly how a drawing of 33-34 hinge further helps an owner of a 1932 car that "used a different hinge pin arrangement".

I know that you and Owen_Dyneto (Dave Czirr) have been friends for quite some time, but from where I sit, I see him often ignoring the wealth of information available in the archive and features of PackardInfo and from many of its members, while using its forum to direct members to PAC's own website.

On the other hand, I see that the opening query in this thread was first posted, verbatim, by mcsilves32 on "Mon Jul 16, 2012 5:04 pm" at the PAC forum:http://www.packardclub.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1676

Odd then that Owen (Dave) did not provide same information on the 33-34 hinge there, before posting it here.

BTW, I can now attach an image that someone, privately, provided me of the special tool (ST-5068) that Packard recommended for removing door hinge pins from all models through the 11th Series - the very tool that I was trying to describe before Owen chimed in. The modern version that I previously referenced uses the same principle.

Ole, I neither need nor want the Packard Club (PAC) in my Packard world - for many reasons and several people that I don't care to discuss. Yet, I'm not the only one who came to PackardInfo to get away from PAC.

In closing, I make no apologies for my comments in this thread or my position with regard to PAC.
