I first removed the hinge from the door and heated the hinge carefully with
a propane torch and then drove the pin out with a punch and hammer.
On one of my hinges the pin was actually broken in half and could not be
driven out. I ended up cutting the inner half of the hinge from the outer
half and then was able to drive the two halves of the pin out.
Good luck.
