Alright, i'm trying to replace the hinge pins, and I have been dremeling the top flange for a good hour now, there is about nothing left and i'm going into the hinge itself now. I try pounding the thing down, and it isn't budging, i'm about to give up, throw some touch up paint over it and just live with the sagging door. any suggestions?

On most of my hinge pins I had to heat them up and used my air hammer to get them out. Also my drivers side pins were in from the top and passenger side were in from the bottom.
It eas a pain to get them out, I also bent one so I need 1 hings pin.

the only way i've found to get them out is (asuming you'v done the remvable door mod.) take the door off remove the bolts for the hinge break the longer peice of the hinge off and use a drill press to get the rest out. they are kinda like crimped in thier and WILL NOT budge.

No I havent done any removable door mod, I just want the bad one out so I can get my door straight lol, 4 hours later I gave up, the torx for the door is stripped so there is no removing the door, and I tried getting the pin out by dremeling off the bottom of the pin (in backwards like lightfoot) but only acheived a great amount of cutting away door hinge metal.
