Door Hinge Pins

Somebody just posted about this a couple of days ago, I believe the answer was to drill the center out. This will allow you to drift the pins out, I'll try it today on the door I have behind the fence and take some pics. By drilling the center it allows the outer walls of the pin to compress (since it has a taper) and tap right out. Brian

able to get the pins out myself... and from looking at the new pins only
looks like gotta smack it out (nothing special about the pin itself)
