ABSTRACT:
A method of aligning a spring vehicle door without removing the door from its hinge and door frame comprises opening the vehicle door, positioning a prying tool having a head member for engaging the hinge between the door and door frame, engaging a portion of the hinge in the head member, and rotating the tool in a direction of closure of the door so as to bend one of the hinge and door frame to a predetermined alignment position. A vehicle door aligning tool for carrying out the aforementioned method comprises a specialized form of handle and head member. The handle is arranged to extend laterally behind the vehicle door when the head member is fitted on the hinge. The handle includes an elongated handle portion and a relatively much shorter end portion obtusely angled from the handle portion. The head member is J-shaped to define a channel normal to the handle portion for receiving an exposed margin or flange of a vehicle door hinge mount to rigidly engage the hinge mount.
