These hinge bushings have some kind of voodoo going on. In looking up the P/Ns for my '96 there are two sizes listed.

15025841 - BUSHING, FRT S/D HGE PIN (UPR/LWR) (13.5 MM)
15025842 - BUSHING, FRT S/D HGE PIN (UPR/LWR) (12.45MM)

Now, those are from the regular EPC, which also mentions that there is a TSB associated with these items... #02-08-64-016 (pdf), linked for reference, includes interesting door hinge history notes. Reading through the TSB there are teflon bushings and bronze bushings. Also with different number, but no notation of diameters that I saw.

What did you use to compress the door springs? I know there is a specialty tool, and I've seen some interesting methods on the interwebs...just curious how you pulled it off. Also, can you confirm for me where the bushings are all located? Both hinge halves, just the body half? The EPC has a crummy pic and my truck is not 100% accessible right now. Reminds me I need to add the striker bolts to my parts order, my strikers have flat spots on them, unacceptable.
