Ferrari Mailing List: 308 Hinge Pins - what jerk put a Zerk there?

[Doug & Terri (dnt]

Broke my 308 hinge pin ‘cause it WASN’T LUBED

 

May I suggest you lube your hinge pins.  It takes a zerk gun to do it with plenty of pressure.  What a system.

 

Mine failed – and the only thing that allowed the door to open is the pin BROKE – if you can see this – this was a thousand dollar fix (both doors – 4 broken pins) as one thing leads to another. 

 

And the ONLY thing that was holding the driver’s door in place was 1/16^th of an inch of the busted pin.  If that had failed I would have had a hand full.

 

Alas
