Default Door hinge pin removal

I thought this might be if interest. My drivers door drops very slightly so thought I’d replace the hinge pins and bushes, about £12.00.
Here are some pictures of the slide hammer and special forked end I made to withdraw the pins.
I wondered what other methods folk use to withdraw the pins as they are pretty tight.

Question - did replacing the pin solve your door droop?

I haven’t replaced the hinge pin yet, I’ll have to knock up a frame to support the door while I do it, but I’m confident it will cure the very slight drop on my door.

Good luck bro and thanks for the update.
Let us know how it goes.
I'm sure a ton of us have the same issue as well. I do.

We just use a punch and knock it out from the bottom it comes out quite easily once the knurled end is no longer holding it in place.
