If you have, how the **** did you get the pin bushing out of the hinge?

I just did this. I removed both doors from the car, took the spring off the hinge, and then I used a dremel to grind the mushroomed end of the roller pin smooth so I could pound it out of the hinge with a punch and hammer. Hope this helps a little bit. You will have to do alot of pounding.

remove the head as descibed above.I ended up cutting a groove in the collar that the pin sits in(with a dremmel tool).working the pin out in a vice then replacing the new roller and pin and welding the collar.I snapped the pin off on my original hinge and bought a used hinge from Lon at TDS.I could not imagine attempting this with the doors on the car.Be very carefull not to put the new roller in to far or it will not spin!Tap it in a little at a time.
