need quick help: removing a door.

I am removing the door off of my honda and swapping it with a new one. But, in between the two hinges is what seems to be a third hinge but i cannot remove the pin the is holding the hinge in. i can only get the pin half way out then is stuck. do i need to pull harder or is there some trick to removing this pin?

Get a long punch and a hammer. If you get to it from the other side....just drive it out. It is prob in a bind so that isn't helping.

Yeah, it was never a costs reduction mod. It was a power mod good for 20-30 with the 496. With fuel prices getting so high I cut expenses. My kids moved back in with me so I was running them to school etc and my travel doubled. I also found the plugs had fouled out from being too cold for E85, they were colder than stock. But I only gained about .5 MPG on fresh ones.

All I had to do was reduce fuel pressure for straight gas with the larger injectors, I can run either anytime I want but I'll wait for the price of E85 to go down for now. At Kroger it's always $0.30 less than gas with a 20% + drop in MPG.
