[Healeys] Sagging hinges

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.
