Thanks for all the great advice. I have a couple of months before the car goes in so I have some time. I still need to take off all of the lower body chrome and around the wheel wells (but I see that actually has small nuts on the inside of the car that hold it on so that should come right off and take care of that). I will go to Ebay and see what this device looks like, but Tom's method sounds like it might work especially if I hit it hard with PB Blaster for a few days. Good news is there is not rot or rust in the hinge area or in the hinge pins.
