Default Tailgate rattle.

Anybody know how to get the pins out of the tailgate hinge? I put bigger tires and wheels on and it seems my top hinge pin is wobbling around. Looking for some info before I dive in. Are they pressed in on the bottom? Should I take the whole hinge off to get at it? Thanks

I would take the hinge off first and see what's going on. After you remove it you may be able to play with it some.

Thanks. There's a cap on top and bottom of the pin. I'm not sure of its pressed in if I have to drill it or just grind it off. Can't find anything about jk tailgate hinge pin removal anywhere.
