Hi all anyone got a method for removing hinge pins
my drivers door lower hinge has a small amount of movement so might as well replace whilst door is off
 
How strange, I was looking at this very topic yesterday as my drivers door doesn't shut as smoothly as the passenger door (even after adjustment). Found a brilliant guide by our VW friends as the Mk2 Golf and similar had the same door pins.

This guy used a vice to press out the old hinge pin as hitting it with a punch and hammer can damage the door / hinge.
