I am interested in this subject as I have contemplated offering hinge rebuilds to bolters. If you read the articles on hinge repair, the first thing they say is, if the pin does not come out with a moderate effort..STOP.
Cease and desist on all beating and heating! Use a hacksaw and cut the pin in two places to facilitate the removal of the door piece from the post piece.
After you have two separate pieces, you can drive or press the pin out without destroying the entire assembly.
There are several good step by step articles on hinge rebuilding out there...maybe someone can provide a link.
