I know it's a repost, but I have no time to search right now and my friend wants some advice on removing LC doorpins.

Would you mind passing on your unique methods?

They're stubborn that's for sure! Last time I did it we use some cheap vice-grips and hammer similar to RIM ^
When it got further up we used a heavy duty punch from underneath.

its pretty easy to get the pins out once you've cut the door off!

My camera is stuffed but i'll get my brother to take a pic of the pin pulling tool i made when i was an apprentice (24yrs ago!).

Its tried and tested, took around to my mates place yesterday and it took 10mins to pull all 4 and they had never been out. The hardest part was removing the pin to hold safety latch.

Just a tip, i got him to squirt WD40 on them earlier on in the day, it helps alot.
