Mercury F58Z-1622800-A Hinge Assembly

If both hinges are to be replaced, it is easier to leave the door in place and replace one hinge at a time. With the door in the open position, place a jack under the door or have an assistant hold the door while the door hinge bolts are removed, ensuring to place thick padding on top of the jack to protect the door's painted finish if a jack is used. On models so equipped, remove the upper and lower hinge access cover plates. Scribe or draw lines around the door hinges to ensure proper alignment on reinstallation. Remove the hinge-to-door bolts, then the hinge-to-body bolts, and carefully remove the hinge(s) or lift off the door. Installation is the reverse of the removal process with the addition of applying a body sealant to the hinge before installing it onto the body panel and adjusting the door if necessary.
