Default Re: Hinge pins

When I have a tough hing pin, I usually end up drilling the pin out over half way and using a drift punch the rest of the way. I have never yet had to drill out the full length of a stuck hinge pin. I have done over a hundred hinge pin removals. Heat also helps loosen their grip.
