 Thanks for sharing. One could pull the doors without re-aligning the hinges. Quick and easy.

great idea. that would certainly be possible. i didnt think of that before doing this fix, so the set screws are not accessible.

Not sure if this is a dead thread, but here goes.  I like the 5/16 rod idea,  and I was thinking that perhaps if it had a 1/8 hole punche thru 4/5ths of it, tapped and with a zerc fitting on the end, then you could do a 1/8 " inch hole 1/2 way thru the pin and now to grease it, would be really easy.

If that does not work then perhaps drill and tap the center section of the hinge and put a zerc fitting there....

Question:  Has anyone been successful in locating a source for the roller PIN or a SPRING that is a direct replacement sizewise?

No thread ever dies, it just fades away for awhile only to be awakened by a new idea or perspective on the topic.  Here is the rebuild I did on my door hinges.  Plenty of pics.
