Blue wrench to the rescue. Tried propane on but couldn't get it hot enough.
Took the hinge down the street to a local machine shop... he tried drilling
it out, no luck. Put the torches to it til it was cherry and beat the bin
out with a punch. Bent the punch too! Everything is back together and I'm
going to leak test the door at the car wash.
Thanks for the ideas guys!
