Key Features
-
Everything in One Kit: 1 stainless removal tool + 8 plastic hinge liner pins + 4 precision alignment pins. This is the complete package — no additional tools or parts required. Service all 4 door hinges (upper/lower × left/right) and rehang your doors with perfect alignment.
-
4 Precision Alignment Pins: The game-changer feature of this kit. These tapered alignment pins screw into the hinge bores before you hang the door, guiding it into perfect position. No more wrestling with a heavy door while trying to line up hinge pin holes — the alignment pins do the work for you.
-
Eliminates Squeaks, Rattles & Hard Closing: Removes corroded OE liner pins and replaces them with fresh components. Restores smooth, quiet, effortless door operation across all road and trail conditions.
-
Professional-Grade Stainless Tool: The removal tool is built from heavy-duty stainless steel for durability. The hinge liner pins are plastic — deliberately — to prevent metal-on-metal contact that would wear out the hinge bores.
-
Complete 5-Step Process: Remove old bushings → clean bores → install new liners → use alignment pins to hang doors → test operation. The entire job is designed to be completed in a driveway with basic tools.
-
2-Year iFJF Warranty: Backed by our quality assurance and US-based customer support.

Installation Guide
-
Support & Remove Doors: Support the door (helper or floor jack with padding). Remove the hinge pins. Keep track of pin positions for reinstallation.
-
Drive Out Old Bushings: Align the iFJF removal tool at the top of each hinge. Tap firmly with a hammer until the OE liner pins are fully driven out of the hinge bore — repeat for all 4 hinges.
-
Clean & Lubricate: Remove all rust and debris from each hinge bore with a wire brush. Apply a light coat of grease or anti-seize lubricant to the clean bore surfaces.
-
Install New Hinge Liner Pins: Tap the new plastic liner pins into each hinge bore using a rubber mallet. Verify each pin is fully and evenly seated.
-
Install Alignment Pins: Thread the 4 precision alignment pins into the hinge bores. These provide a tapered guide surface for hanging the door.
-
Hang the Door: Slide the door onto the alignment pins — the tapered design guides it into perfect position. Once aligned, remove the alignment pins and reinsert the original hinge pins.
-
Test & Enjoy: Open and close the door several times to verify smooth, quiet, rattle-free operation.
Pro Tip: The alignment pins are the secret to a frustration-free door reinstallation. Even if you've done this job before, the alignment pins save 15-20 minutes of trial-and-error positioning. Don't skip this step.
Why Alignment Pins Matter
Anyone who has removed and reinstalled Jeep doors knows the hardest part isn't getting the old bushings out — it's getting the doors back on. Jeep doors are heavy (60-80 lbs for a JK front door), awkwardly shaped, and must align precisely with two small hinge bores simultaneously. Without alignment pins, you're holding up a heavy door with one hand while trying to find the invisible hinge hole with the other. The alignment pins in this kit thread into the hinge bores first, providing a tapered guide that lets you simply slide the door into position. Once aligned, you remove the pins and reinsert the factory hinge pins. This feature alone makes the Complete Kit worth the upgrade over a basic tool-only or liner-only kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this kit work on a 2022-2023 Wrangler JL?
The kit is specified for 2007-2021 models. While the hinge design has remained consistent through 2023, we recommend contacting our support team to verify fitment for 2022+ model years before ordering.
My doors are very hard to close. Will this fix it?
Yes. Worn, swollen, or corroded hinge bushings are the leading cause of difficult door closure on JK and JL Wranglers. This kit replaces all worn hinge components for a complete restoration of factory door operation.
Does this kit include hinge nuts?
No. Door hinge nuts are sold separately. This kit includes the removal tool, hinge liner pins, and alignment pins — everything needed for the bushing replacement and door reinstallation process.
Can I install this by myself without a helper?
The alignment pins significantly simplify solo installation. You'll still need a way to support the door's weight during removal and reinstallation — a floor jack with a padded block works well. Many owners complete the entire job solo using the alignment pins for door hanging.
Are the alignment pins reusable?
Yes. The alignment pins are made from durable steel and can be reused every time you remove and reinstall your doors. Keep them in your tool kit for trail-side door removal or seasonal door swaps.
