My doors are saging sort of like me. I can't budge the screws that hold the hinge to the post to tighten them. I assume there is a plate with nuts on the front side of the wooden post. What do I need to remove to get at the nut side of the hinge screws? Are new screws avaliable?

There isn't any adjustment to the screws on the hinges , and there are no nuts on the back-as a matter of fact I've never been able to get any loose-except by drilling out and chasing the threads-I believe your car needs to be shimmed to allow for settlement over the years-Several publications show the method to shim depending on the body style-
