89 Mustang door hinge pin removal
Well, I finally got the bottom half of the bottom pin out this afternoon. I
had to drill a hole through the center and then take an air hammer w/chisel to it! Now, I can't get the top half out. Seems the bushing is holding it tight. I've tried hammering on a small crowbar underneath it to try to drive it up, with no success. Does anyone have any experience in removing these pins? Books that are available, to the general public, for bodywork? I really want to get this car restored to "better than new" and I want to get the small things done first before I start on the major stuff. The car is an LX hatchback model, 5-speed, electric windows (they still work!), and inline-4 with EFI. By the way, does anyone know how many bolts hold the passenger side fender on? This may be my next task in order to get to the hinges, themselves. I have replacement hinges.

89 Mustang door hinge pin removal
I have an 89 Mustang Convertible that I replaced the hinge pins on. I
didn't have the difficulty you experience. I responded before to your inquiry that I had used a Dremel Tool. I used the Dremel with a gringing wheel attached to grind off the top and then a punch to tap the pin out. Maybe yours is a different configration.
