thats what i did,

i put the bolt like thing through the pin and tightend it up and slotted the big end into the handle and whacked away using lots of wd40, but it is not coming out ?

Out of the 4 hinge pins on my car only 1 came out with the proper removal tool, the others wouldn't move. Fortunately my doors were rotten so I used a drift and hammer from above on the top pin (have to watch the paint on the A pillar) and then attacked the bottom of the doors with an angle grinder so I could get good access with the same drift on the bottom hinges (again from above). No use unless your doors are going in the scrap though.
