Well If your talking about the door hinge pins you can try tapping them out while they are still on your van but and I mean but! You will have to remove them from the van,Sometimes you can soak them in some kind of penetrant oil and put them in a vise and use a punch and pound them out. If that does not work ,what I had to do on most of mine was heat the hinge pins and surroundings up so hot the whole mess turns red hot then use a punch and beat em out

i tried just tapping them out but that seem to do no damage to them, but i haven't tried the heating yet, that will be the next thing i'll try. thanks for the help.

Hey Fletch, Tom Savage lives in Ft Wayne and has a couple ChevyVans like yours. Sure he'll chime in here before long.
