On the older, that I have watched videos on, there is a washer with a "C" clip, unless what I watched was a video removing old aftermarket pins. Removing the door is straight forward with 3 10mm bolts removed and then removing electrical connectors and pull them thru the hole in the door jam where the "umbilical cord" attaches. Then it is as easy as lifting the door straight up and setting out of the way. Then the heads that need ground off are completely exposed and once you grind the heads you use a 9020902-01 tool from ebay or Amazon to push the pin out of the hole. The replacement pins bolt in and you can spring for greaseable pins or not. I am getting the pins from RA and are Genuine GM bolt in pin kits.I will do pics of the process when I do this work. Thankfully, the friends Tahoe is a 2005, just like mine, and if I ever have to do mine it will be exactly the same. I will be looking at the 2004 Silverado K2500HD to see what it looks like. Not today. It is Oregon. It is raining. Go figure.</blockquote>
