door hinge pins
I am going nuts trying to get the drivers side $*&#$^! hinge pins out. I can't seem to hammer them out from the bottom. I soaked them with penetrating fluid, and heated the hinges with a propane torch, I tried driving the head of the pin up off the hinge with a chisel, and prying up on it, but still no go. Thev'e been on there for 33 years and the rate I'm going will still be on there for another 33 years. Talk about frustrating. Good thing I don't have a cutting torch.... Any help would save my sanity.

Here's what I did when I replaced mine:
Took door off of hinge. Used a hack saw and cut the pin in to three pieces then with the half the hinge in my had drove out the pieces with a chisle. The pieces left in the other half of the hinge should come out with a few taps. Use a new hack saw blade. and be carefull to not cut into the hinge. If your hinges are shot you should have plenty of room for the blade.
