New Hinges or Hinge repair kit?

The kits only service the pins. If the smaller star wheels are eating the S spring etc.. the repairs fell short. If the pin has worn the holes beyond the outer diameter of the bushings the bushing will crack. The bushing needs a good round hole at the correct size.
There are a couple of different methods of servicing the hindge pins. One way is unbolting the hindge. The other way is cutting the original pins into smaller pieces to remove them.
