Door Hing Pin Removal - Help.

[BA.]

I did try a search on this but I didn't find anything on the topic.

I was gonna try to knock out my new door hing bushings today. Had no idea what I'd be running into.

Seems the factory has a real nifty idea on how to keep that one bushed pin in place too. (I'm working the upper hinge)

Is there something I'm missing here? Should I be grinding off that metal edge that looks like it's purpose in life is to ensure the pin never "rides up" and out? If I do, shouldn't I then be concerned about how the pin stays in place afterwards?


Help a bro' out! I'm gonna go look at the Service Manual now,...but I'm not really expecting any answers there!
