Adjustable Door Hinge 70332

Check to verify the model of your grill before ordering your replacement hinge pin. There is a very lengthy list of compatible models for this part so it is quite easy to find exactly what you need. The pins come two to a pack. Place the pin through the slotted hole on the bottom arm of the hinge with the pin facing upward and the threads (and eventually the nut) below the hole. Tighten the nut by using the appropriate size wrench making sure to align the pin in the slot where appropriate for correct alignment of the door on the grill. Place the hole in the bottom of the door onto the newly installed bottom hinge pin. The top door pin is spring loaded and must then be drawn back into the top of the door by using something small such as a small slot screwdriver tip to push it down. Align the recessed pin with the top door hinge hole and let it snap up into place. That should do it! Pretty easy, huh?

I took the broken piece off and installed the new one. Less than 10 minutes!!
The part came with "picture and written instructions", which was awesome!!

1. Removed tank and loose parts such as grids, flavorizer bars, drip pan, etc.
2. Tipped grill backwards to lay it on its back, to gain better access to bottom where the adjustable door hinge would be placed.
3. Installed hinge into slotted flange that holds it.
4. Installed door while using flat blade screw driver to hold spring loaded, top hinge down to retract top hinge into body of door.
5. Fit bottom of door onto newly installed hinge.
6. Removed screw driver after checking for proper alignment of top hinge, insuring that it popped into round hole in grill body. This is under the panel where the burner dials are located.
7. Checked alignment of door and slid new hinge slightly in flange to make an even gap between the 2 doors.
8. Snugly tightened the new adjustable hinge.
9. Returned grill to upright position.
10. Reinstalled tank and other loose parts.
11. Ignited all 3 burners to verify proper functioning of grill. Job done!
Note: It was difficult to tell whether the nut and hinge body (where wrench is placed) are metric or SAE. I hate using adjustable wrenches, but that’s what I used to finish the tightening. Maybe instructions included that info, but I did not bother to read them!

Followed the written instructions.

Instructions made it a piece of cake. 2 wrenches all was needed.

1. Cleaned door.
2. Put hinge in place.
3. Put door back in place.
4. Tightened hinge.

Used a 7/16 and 1/2 wrench
Tightened the post closed doors and then loosened the post to adjust the doors square to each other and even out the gaps.

Replaced the hinge upon delivery using a wrench.

Replaced the door hinge.

1. Remove the door that had not fallen off
2. Disconnect natural gas supply.
3. Remove the fire box control panel, internals and drip trays to lighten the assembly.
4. Attempted to separate the lid from the firebox by removing the hinge pins. However, the pins were seized to one side of the hinge and would not slide out even with WD40 and gentle persuasion. I left the lid attached as I feared breaking the hinge.
5. Removed the lid/firebox assembly. (I should have had a helper. It is not too heavy but is awkward.)
6. Remove the back from the grill cart - clean, remove surface rust and paint.
7. Assemble new grill cart using new sides, bottom and old back.
8. Reassemble the rest of the grill in reverse order of disassembly.
