Big time - I did this a couple of years ago on my 1991 two-door. On
one of them, nothing worked - torch, drift, penetrating oil - I
finally had to saw through the body side half of the hinge itself in a
spot where I figured the load on the hinge would be the lowest and
drive a chisel into the saw cut to free up the remains of the old
hinge pin. Very ugly. Lubricate those hinges frequently! ;-)
