Tailgate hinges
 

hi,
I recently picked up a used swing away tire carrier for my 90 yj. went to put
it on the other day, and i cant get the hinge pin out of the lower hinge. The
rack monts on top of the hinge, with a bolt through the whole thing, so the
rack and the tailgate swing on the same hinge pin. anyone ahve any ideas how
to get the pin out? anyone do this before? anyone know of aftermarket black
hinges that might have removable pins, or is that hoping for too much? cant
seem to find black hinges anywhere that i normally order from.
thanks for any help.
