hammer and molegrips. Ideally a 2nd set of hands

Nah, rest the passenger door on left leg just above knee, driver`s on right one, seemples

Yeah, but this is gayboy

I'll bear your technique in mind, not tried that

Passenger door on left leg...drivers door on right leg...   I hope you've got a manual great stick J.

These pins the same as a carlton?

Almost. Instead of being parallel all the way along, there's a small flair at the bottom of an Omega's door pin, it gives you something to hit! 

Right. It's just that this topic came up on ABS and there is a wonder tool that has been used very effectivley.

It's like a slide hammer, well in fact it is a slide hammer but the shaft is thin enough to go through the pin, where you then screw on a nut bigger than the pin and slide bang to get it moving. This method works well on older corroded pins as there is less chance of hitting the end obliquely and putting it out of shape.
Plus it's long enough to get down between door frame and door without fouling.

I saw this very tool in action on a Senator driver's door at the ABS meet this week!  There is far less room to work on the Senator/Carlton than an Omega, and I was well impressed at how well it worked! 

Apparently GM charge about £70 for this tool, but I recon one could be 'fashioned' for about a fiver!!
