Drivers door was damaged, got another to go on.

Any advice on removing and re installing the hinge pins? There is a specil tool apparently.

 ...or anything else relevant?

The door I have is off a higher miler, so the guts of my door will be going in the new one.

Don't forget to support the handle end. That's all I'm saying. Not from experience. Ahem.

Installing, small tack hammer. Removing, I just use a flat-bladed screwdriver

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l2736&_nkw=door+pin+removal for the removal tool. Piece of wood undeer the door on a trolly jack to take the weight of the door.

I made this out of high carbon steel

I always use a pair of molegrips clamped loosely  and tap them with a small hammer.  To refit just a small hammer.

These pins the same as a carlton?

You can use your new super trolley jack to support the door

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.
