Good question. I asked their customer service and they told me to use a nail. No amount of banging and bending nailes has come close to dislodging the pin. Arghh!
THIS WORKS: Heat the hinge with your hair dryer to loose the goop inside the hinge. Use pliers to hold the hinge as it will get very hot. Once it's hot enough, insert a small screw driver into the pin hole. Bang the screwdriver and I promise the hinge will come out. It worked for me on all my Schlage hinge pins.
You shut the door, if needed spray each hinge with WD 40. Then take a straight screwdriver and a hammer to pound out the hinge. In an upward motion the end of the screwdriver against the bottom edge of the top of the pin, then take the hammer and pound on the end of the screwdriver to loosen. When loose you may be able to remove it with your hand or pliers. The above will not work on some door hinges such as Schlage.

Open the door, support it with a jack, remove the hinge spring. To remove the pin, you should have to remove a retaining clip at the head of the pin and then tap it out with a hammer. The upper hinge has two bolt secured bushings. Unthread the bolts, tap them out with a hammer and pull out the bushings. Make sure the door is held secure, as it will be free floating at this point.
To remove a Schlage door handle, first locate the small pinhole on the handle. Insert a small tool, like a paperclip or pin, into the hole to release the handle. Once the handle is released, you can unscrew the mounting screws to remove the handle from the door.
The pin that slides into a door hinge is called a hinge pin. It is usually removable to allow for door removal or adjustment.
Hello... I have the very same problem. To remove the hinge pin, you must heat the center of the hinge where the pin goes through, and use an air hammer with a flat pointed end. Manage the air hammer under the hinge, point on the bottom of the pin and pull the trigger. Steady the air hammer so it doesn't move around on you. ....Good Luck!!!!

To replace the hinge pin on a 1993 Dodge Spirit, first, remove the door from the vehicle by supporting it and unbolting the hinges. Once the door is off, use a hammer and a punch to drive out the old hinge pin. Insert the new hinge pin into the hinge, ensuring it is properly aligned, and then reattach the door to the vehicle, securing the hinges with bolts. Finally, check the door's alignment and make any necessary adjustments.
Hold the end of the door with a jack, grind the head from the old pin, knock out the old pin, remove the door half of the hinge, drill out the hinge to accept the new bushings, install the new bushings, re-bolt the hinge to the door, finally, insert the new pin and install the C clip
