1
Remove the old hinge pin. Place the screwdriver at the edge of the hinge pin and tap it lightly with the hammer until it comes out. A spray-on lubricant could be helpful if the hinge pin is old and rusted. Spray on the lubricant, wait a few minutes and remove the pin. In extreme cases, you may need to press a nail against the bottom of the hinge pin and tap upward against the nail with the hammer.
