Hi Phil,
Sorry...I missed your question and just saw it. The headstock holds the drill bit needed and the inner part of the hinge is fastened firmly where the tool bit normally would go...with the path carefully set so the bit runs straight and true through the center of the old (stuck) pin. Then the tailstock is slowly moved toward the headstock until the bit goes through to the other side. A milling machine would work also. I don't know if it would be easier. Like a drill press you would have a blind side to deal with where on a lathe you can see both sides and like the drill press you need a table vise to hold the part steady.
