I not only can't figure out how to take out the hinge pins in my 2000 Silverado, I can't find the answer on this forum. I'm sure the answer is here but I can't find it. Please help.[&:]

[&o]Thanks for the answer. Great pics and all. Only problem is my truck has the newer style hinges with no spring, etc. The best I can find is to get out the ol' rec. saw and get to whackin'. Sure seems awful ruff treatment for a truck wearing a bow tie. Sure seems like there oughta be a better way. Again thanks for the answer tho'.[]
