are the pin in lower door hinge on 66 charger pressed in or can they be drove out with a hammer just wondering if I supported the door could drive out the old and in the new anyone ever try
What? Why not? Maybe you are over thinking this. Remove door. Remove hinge. Perform service on hinge. Reassemble. :2thumbs:
You can do the lower with the door in place. The upper you cannot.

Curious as to why? Only thing I can think of is a support issue..
Thinking out loud:
If you replace the top hinge first to avoid any possible unnecessary stress on the bottom later.
Fully open the door and use a support either under the door or say support from above using something affixed to the end of the door. Why not replace the lower screw of the latch mechanism with a longer one or simply put a S hook under it like a washer and then connect a line from there to the rafter. Now that the door is supported remove and rework the upper hinge. Replace and move on to lower?
Avoid putting anything (including yourself) into the car during so as to not change the "ride height" and tweek anything.

Door shell is in the way of the pin.

Ah, yes. I read into the OP as removing the hinge and rebuilding off the car. Then replacing it. Not just driving out the pin.
