RE: Upgrade to alloy door pins - Padster - 1:st-Sep-2017 I've bought a set of pins but I'm struggling to get the original pins off. Do they unscrew? Mines seem to be stuck RE: Upgrade to alloy door pins - Big Dave2 - 1:st-Sep-2017 Looking at the photos in the following sellers post, they screw on. You can see the threads on the shaft that the pin fixes too. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-Arrival-Car-Door-Lock-Knobs-Pull-Knobs-Door-Pins-Hot-Rod-For-Chevrolet-Cruze-Trax/32308577805.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Global-Freeshipping-For-Chevrolet-Cruze-Trax-Malibu-Opel-Mokka-ASTRA-J-Insignia-Sport-Tourer-Door-Lock/32637723956.html RE: Upgrade to alloy door pins - Padster - 1:st-Sep-2017 Hi thanks for the reply and links. I've tried unscrewing them but they won't budge. RE: Upgrade to alloy door pins - zzattack - 4:th-Sep-2017 Use leather gloves or something to get more grip. Mine were tight as well but they really do screw off.

These are the ones I bought are they ok? Ebay door pins Finally should I use some grease to stop the dis similar metals bonding together?
