Basically the hinge pins do move but you need to give them the good news with some proper effort.

Biggest problem is that its awkward to do it if you don't want to damage either the car or the door.

I find it easiest to knock the pins down with an extension bar until there's enough visible to get pliers on the bottom, then grip the pin and hit the pliers. Helps to have a few people on the job. Don't forget to remove the loom and check strap first before the hinges as well.

When I took my door off, the biggest thing I could find to shift the pins was a masonry bolster and mallet!

Then an old screwdriver to knock them through the hinge.

having someone to hold the weight of the door makes it much easier too. :twisted:

That was previously in this thread but seems to have been deleted, along with a suggestion of "Chainsaw" from the Scotsman.
