Opened the door on my S-10 today & the top hinge pin fell clear out.??

I thought the door was going to fall to the ground but the Bottom hinge held it. For quick thinking I reversed the pin just to be able to keep the door intack & drive home..

I looked at the passengers side & noticed a some type of lock on the pin at the top.
Beside the Salvage yard can these be bought at parts store or dealer specific?

Are they easy to replace?
 
The "Help" section should have them. I think the hard part is getting the pins out, so half the work is done for you already :D:p
 
I did both hinges in my s10 blazer this summer, driver's door. They are easy to get out but there are two brass inserts that come with them you need to remove.

there is a special door spring compression tool. bought mine at the parts place for 3 bucks ;-)
