There is a couple threads on door hinges so I thought I'd share. This method is not an option unless you have the fenders off.
I got the idea from many newer cars, where the hinges are Not adjustable. Which makes sense to me. It's correct, bushing wears, door sags, it needs new bushings to restore the sag. Not adjust to compensate for sag.
Found this hinge spring tool. It worked great on one side but the angle was just a headache on the other. 1 minute vs 45.
Build a stand to capture the door while the pins and bushings were removed. I cut the pin and knocked it out. Replaced bushings and reinserted pins. The power window/lock wiring was still attached. No bolts were disturbed for this method.
