Ric: I really doubt that you can drive the old pins out. I just
rebuilt all my hinges - pins were rusted solid in the swing arms ( like
most ) - had to grind ( small burr grinder ) top & bottom of the pins to get
past the hard facing - drilled the pins down to below the inside of the
brackets - remove the swing arms - drill press drilled the old pins out
after squaring up in drill press vice.
Not too bad - just takes time.

Subject: [oletrucks] Door Hinges
> Today I pulled the drivers door on my '50 3100, and was going to rebuild
the hinges and ran into a snag. I can't seem to get the old hinge pins to
come out. I've used hammer and nail set to no avail. It looks like there
might be a set screw in the center of the hinge, but I can't get either a
hex key, sloted or phillips screw driver to catch on aynthing. Does anyone
have any suggestions on how to get the old pins out? Also, if need be, does
one of the parts houses sell new hinges ??
