Door Roller Pins
I'm having to replace the hinge pins and bushings on my K2500. I replaced the pass. side roller pin with the Dorman part but I will probably use factory parts on the hinge pins. I was having a hard time pounding the roller pin in so I measured it with my caliper. The stock pin was about 0.57 in and the Dorman part was 0.59 in. Too large for an interference fit IMO. I put the pin in my drill and turned it like a lathe while grinding the knurled area down with my Dremel tool to about 0.58 in. That was enough for a good fit. The Dorman roller pin seems stronger than the stock part.
