37 Dodge trunk hinge help

Hi,
I have a set trunk hinges that need to be blasted. Does anyone know if the steel pin that holds the two sections together can be pressed out or do they need to be drilled out?

Thanks
Sam

I am only guessing but the hinge pin will probably press out. Usually they are rolled, knurled, peened or swedged on the end. You will probably have to cut the end off it to get it out. You may not be able to use it over but you should be able to make up something that will work fine.

Good luck.
