Not barn door hinge should apply...

Found this in the pickup projects and builds threads from 2009 - great pics in the thread.

The Hinges where being stubborn, the hinge pin did not want to come out, I tried penetrating oil and heat but it didn’t want to budge. But I found if I ground the head off the hinge pin and use a socket to support the frame around the head area and one or two solid hits on the pin it came right out. The spring pin holding the slider was bent and had to be cut out with a small cutoff wheel in my Dremel and pushed out in small pieces.

Another detail I read was to use a 3/16 punch.

Anyone else try this method?
