use a angle grinder if you replacing the door and a centre punch on the pins should do it

There is a tool made by ABW (??) available from autobarn/repco etc.

It is effectively a drift with a three different size pins to remove the split pin inside the hinge.

That said, even with the tool I can't get the door of gertrude so I am going to angle grind the f#@ker off.

I have had some success using a long piece of solid alloy bar just the right size to fit inside and knock the pin out and long enough to be driven in with a hammer from above the door.

Hope this helps.
