Default 1994 passenger door needs to com off

The door broke and it looks. Like taking the pins out would be easier to get at.
I tried hammering the top pin and didn't budge. The door is in the way of the bottom pin.
I can't get a pry bar under the pin heads.
I don't know how to get at the back bolts.

What would you suggest?

It is an slt extended cab if that helps.
Thanks.

I looked at mine and was thinking use a drift pin and maybe for the bottom you can use a C clamp to get the pin out since you can't swing a hammer at it.

Easy to take off. An no the door isn't in the way for either pin. I just used a 3/8 drove 6" extension and a 4lb hammer. Don't be gentle. Bushing probably need replaced anyway. Cheap at a parts store.

Top one should come out through the bottom and bottom one should come up through the top.

using a punch, heat and wd plus some hammering, they came loose. I propped up the door because it was hanging down. Do auto parts places have these hinges or brackets? The bottom one is bad. Where would a weld plate go? It has electric windows. I'll bet the door panel has to come off too.
