I clamped this hinge in the vice and tried to drive the pin out with a punch. It is really in there tight. The punch would not budge it and the hinge kept slipping out of the vice jaws. I don't want to clamp it too tightly since it is a cast piece, I'm afraid it will crack or break. The end I was hitting with the punch mushroomed, so I ground it flush and tried again. It still will not budge. There is about 1/4 inch of play in the deck lid because the center piece is worn. I want to get it out so I can fit it with a new pin. Anyone have experience here or suggestions?
