Having trouble removing pins from door hinge

I can't seem to pop out the pins on this door hinge. I tried tapping them from the bottom and pulling them from the top but no luck. Am I missing something, or are there some tips? I'd really rather not remove the hinge if possible. Thanks!

Get a small dia punch and just tap it upwards!

A nail set and hammer will drive it up. No love taps... Hit it like you mean it.

Try tapping the bottom of the hinge with the door in different locations other than closed

I either use a punch from below or a stiff putty knife under the top lip of the pin. Putty knife is often quicker but you still need to get the pin up a tad.
