Re: Door hinge pin removal

After struggling with mine, I determined that if the hinge is frozen, good luck in getting the pin out. I even used a hydraulic press with no luck.

Otherwise, a hammer and punch will normally get a pin out.

Re: Door hinge pin removal

I've never run across one yet that I couldn't get out if I mount them in a vice and heat the hinges up good and hot with a torch. The pins will air hammer right out.
