Hinges
  • Take out the two 8mm screws fastening the hinges in place.

  • Remove the hinges. They are not identical so keep track of which is which.

  • Quick hinge stiffness fix:

  • Place the hinge in a vice but do not tighten it down.

  • Rest the hinge on the bottom sheet metal without gripping the metal pin. The locking washer should be facing upwards.

  • Tap the top of the metal pin with a hammer to loosen up the hinge action.

  • If you loosen the hinge too much, take it out of the vice and place it on top of the vice. put a small hex driver over the top and tap it with a hammer to drive the locking washer back down.
