Default Gas door hinge, all models.

Just replaced the gas door hinge on my S60. The top and bottom pins are easy to get in. The middle two are less so. I ended up using two small bolts that screwed right in. Thought I would save everyone some headache by posting this idea.

I always snap the 4 pins out and take a straight pick and open the holes just a hair. Then slide the pins in from the back or turn them the opposite from how they came off and insert.

Then going on the car I use my small hammer for the upper and lower one. Then I use a universal nut driver handle(One you can swap sockets on) without the socket and tap that to push the center pins in.

Well that would work too. But mine showed a much higher grasp of the need to take a simple task and make it much more involved.
