Not to sound rude, but it was a simple as pull out old one then put in new one. Extremely simple and straight forward. Hardest part was getting the spring back in. So basically, if everything is lined up, just slide the new pin in.

yeah,
I did this in my autobody class w/ my camaro and let me tell you it took 4 hours.... it was my 1st time tho.. the hardest part was getting the pin out.. just make sure that the door is jacked up even, where it was before it saged. I gotta a little frustraded and got a cutting wheel and went to town and got it out alot easier. But you wont have to do that, just take your time and plan on doing this all afternoon.
have fun and watch your lanugage while you do it.
