bottom halves of door hinge pin

How do you remove them?? I can't get them to budge at all. I cut them about 1/3 of the way from the bottom that was as low as I could get. The bottom of the pin is not spot welded in any way is it? I guess I should buy a punch, but would that still work since my pins are cut at an angle?

i used a padded jack to support the door, to keep it from falling and also to make sure the door wasn't applying any weight to the hinges/pins. then i took a long phillips head screwdriver and a hammer and tapped it out. i cut the pin in half and used a dremel tool to grind the head of the pin off, that way I could tap it out from above. hope this is helpful.

I got it out I used a mini breaker bar to wedge the head of the pin out. That punch didn't work at all. Those damn bushings are a nightmare to get in and out. My door does not line up with my fender. I must have damaged my hinges since I only had half a bushing left out of the 2 in the bottom hinge. But at least my door doesn't sag, and I guess I could get it lined up at a body shop if I ever get it painted.

you know that you can adjust your door/fender line up with the mounting bolts on the hinges themselves right?
