Hey im stuck. i am trying to remove my door to put on a new one. I have followed all the steps that i've seen online. This one hinge won't budge. i tried hitting up from the bottom with a hammer and such. Any ideas? Thank you.

Uh, it's not a hinge. It's the door check strap, the thing that keeps the door halfway and all the way open.
There's an e-clip snapped to the bottom end of the pin and you have to remove that before you can drive the pin upward. Also, there's a small plastic washer/spacer between the top of the strap and the mounting ear. I can see it in the picture anddon't lose it.
