Using the correct tool, unscrew the bolt or screw and repeat for the other side.Finally, slip the vinyl or plastic washer over the stud and slide it up to the hinge plate. This sits between the hinge plate and pan and protects the pan from scratching. Step 2 – Adjust the Hinges Depending on what type of hinges you have will depend on how they are fixed.
