Door hinge pin removal

[198plus]

Any tricks to getting the pins out of door hinges for replacement

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.

Yea I tried the hammer and punch and things didn't work out to good for me.....Guess I'll try using a drill press and drill them out

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.
