Do you mean just the pins inside the hinges. I think you can just tap them out, they may be a little stiff cus they may have been there for 11+years.
Support the door with a jack and plank of wood, this will support the doors weight whilst you tap the pins out.

You use like a tool thing, like a screw head punch, and then just use a hammer to make the tool knock the pins out.

just use a screwdriver. Place it on top and hit it hard with a hammer if you cant afford the ?1 odd to buy the punch.
