They get lubed once a year...
They will outlive me...
Do you have pictures?
Something like this?

Is there a easy way of replacing the hinges on a painted car without removing the doors ? Or is removing the doors a must , and I would imagine pretty heavy . Can't remember the last time removing a door on a 71 B Body
My lower hinge , the spring is gone , stopper
71 Charger
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the doors must be removed. The bolts which hold each hinge to the door are accessible. The problem is that you can't get to the bolts that hold each hinge to the body, without first removing the door (I don't believe there's enough room to get a wrench into that small area). At least, that's how I removed mine. And, yes, the door is quite heavy, so it's best to have a helper or two when both removing and re-installing them.

You can remove the plastic fender rear splash shield to access the hinges. Can just one hinge at a time without removing the door too.
Just so everyone knows the 71-8 B hinges have a larger flange and bolt pattern and won't interchange with any other hinge. Also 71-3 had the coil spring and 74-8 had the S-spring.
