No, I mis-typed what I was replacing. I'm correcting the door sag that is caused when the hinge bushings wear out; these guys.

What you're talking about is the door hinge check roller, like this guy

You may have to buy the whole lower hinge assembly though. My quick google search didn't immediately pull up a check roller bushing and pin kit for our 03/04 Mach 1's.
As far as difficulty goes, no. It's not difficult in the sense of requiring a lot of knowledge or special tools. It is, however, very tedious. You have to open the door, grind off the top of the stock pins with a dremel, pound them out with a hammer and punch (all while supporting a heavy awkward door), knock the old bushings out, install new bushings, line the door back up, drop the new pins in, and touch up any paint you messed up.

I don't know of the emblems will have two holes behind them for alignment or not.

Perfect. That's what I'll do and report back.
