Anyone have suggestions on taking a passenger side door hinge pin out? I've tried hammering it out from the bottom with a punch. Is there anything else or tricks to doing this?
Iam trying to put a threaded pin to mount a side view mirror.

Thanks

An impact gun is what has been recommended. More info on that here:

Aren't impact guns designed for tightening/loosening fasteners such as wheel lugs? Confused

I was thinking Impact Hammer, but read "Impact Gun" in Johnshenry's post on the linked page and typed that also in this new thread. DOH! Sorry for this misinformation.
