    try to get hold of a door pin remover tool, the one i use here is a small bolt with a round nut, 2 bits flat of steel and a hammer.

    I use a slide hammer the thin centre slides inside the hinge pin and a round nut about 10mm long screws on the end.

    cheers

    I am cleaning up and respraying my doors at the moment. I went and purchased an door hinge pin remover from "Cheapa Auto Spares" - the same sort of shop as Autobarn and Supercheap Auto. It was $49.95

    If they are anything to take off like my vc doors were you are going to hate the moment you ever thought you would take them off.
    I'd rather slam the doors shut with my head in them than ever remove another hinge pin.

    Thanks guys, after I wrecked 2 doors on my wreck, I realised pretty quickly there must be a better way. Must be the best 49.95 ever spent i'd reckon.
