XJ Door Hinge - I'm in trouble!
 

I'm trying to replace the hinge pin on my '92 XJ... left front lower pin
WILL NOT come out! I've removed the header panel...fender...door for access
and no luck. I ended up cutting the pin from the hinge but the top and
bottom is still stuck in there... any ideas?

Tried beating it out in the vice... nothing
Tried drilling it out in the drill press... not even scratching it.

I'm going to try some heat tomorrow but I have a feeling I'll be ordering a
new hinge. Damn 20 minute job will have me out of commission for days!

LOL Brian, good luck. Did you try soaking it in a vat of penetrating oil
like pb blaster?

We can't get PB in Canada (to the best of my knowledge)... I have doused it
in WD40 but I'm going to get some good stuff tomorrow. I'm going to need it
for the lift install anyway. Might go doorless tomorrow if it's not raining
LOL.

Instead of beating on it put in a vise or a press, place a small socket on
one end and a straight drift punch on the other squeeze with even pressure
it will come out.
