How would removing them help in centering?

With lots of soaking and warming the outside of the pins location, I would want a hole just a bit bigger than the pin's head, and solid to rest the door on while I gently and rapidly tapped the pin itself with vibration the aim.

top hinge pain is working its way out from bottom of hinge and am afraid door will be facockled. its stuck in that position. door now swings freely after oiling but me thinks pin should be completely centered in door and hinge.
