How to replace hinges?

Hi everyone.
My driver's door scrapes the latch every time it is opened or closed. I'm guessing its the hinges that are worn out.

Does anyone know how to replace them?

Thanks for the help,
David

I'm told you don't need to replace the hinges themselves, just the hinge pins. Much less expensive, too.

Replace the pins and bronze bushings.

Keep and eye out for that little spring or you'll put your eye out. You can hold it with a thick pair of gloves or rag and pop it out but don't stick a screwdriver in there without holding the spring. Replacing it can be just as dangerous.
