Removing Door Hinge Pins

Need to remove rusted door hinge pin on a 31 Model A Ford.
I have lubricated with spray lubricatants, tried to hammer out with punches, then tried to press out with a C-clamp tool, then tried air hammer. Am now attempting to weld to top of pin to attach a slide hammer.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.

 

have you tried heat?

 

Try the search on here it has been covered before , lots of good advice,no easy way I ended up drilling mine out .

 

i had to drill mine also. I beat the bottom of them until they were mushroomed and then I had no choice but the drill. They do make a removal tool.

 

Bratton's sells a hinge pin removal tool.

The pin removal tool is well worth the money, but sometimes heat is a help to.

 

Bob Drake used to sell that tool for $9.99, probably gone up by now. Looks exactly the same as the Bratton one.

 

The tool did'nt work at all for me. I first used electrolysis for a couple weeks on em, and then used a torch, candle wax, and a BFH. I had to drill out one or two.

 

i had to use heat

put the heat on the inner hinge(the part connected to the body) to expand it, then whack it with a big hammer

 

Step1- weld correct size straight punch to a donor air hammer attachment.

Step2-Grind pin smooth with hinge so does not flare

Step3- Support hinge so will not move with force (I had door off upside down and on vise with crack for pin to come out). If not supported can damage sheetmetal around hinge as well as factory rivets become loose.

Step4-Make hinge HOT with oxy-acet torch

Step5- Giver full power with air hammer!

NEVER USE VARIABLE SWINGING PRESS(hammer) ON ANYTHING!!

 

I'm a firm believer in heat and candle wax. Those freaking Ford hinge pins can certainly try anyone's patience. However, if you have anough of it, heat and wax will prevail. Along with a BFH, of course!!!

 

Just did some VW split doors for a friend. I told him I had a tool I made to do fords it fit the VW but I could not get 2 of them to move. I got it by making a jig to hold the door over peice of 1" round stock with hole drilled to the dia. of the pin.With the door in place and the hinge suported real good, little heat it came right out.

 

SUCCESS.
Finally got the door hinge pin out. Thanks for all your suggestions.
What finally worked was a combination of Marvel Mystery Oil, Air hammer from the bottom and a slide hammer welded to the top of the pin( operated by wife ) and heat on the hinge. All this at the same time and it finally started moving.
Your help is really appreciated.
