It wouldnt be that hard to make one yourself actually. Still, I have heard that the clamp doesn't always work on 50+ year old rusty hinges. What
you can do then is use an oxy to heat up the hinge and get someone to whack it out with a punch and hammer. It's a two man job.

take it to a VW specialist kim. You have to drive these pins up to get them out. Way too easy to damage paint and panels with the limited amount of
room to swing the hammer.

thought about turning whole car upside down, but it is now stuck on it's side in garage.
I think the main problem is that there have been abortive attempts in the past resulting in the lower end of the pin being peened out

You need to take the door off its much easier tahn turning the car upside down and besides you wont damage the door screw attach area.

You need a wider garage so can roll the bug over completely you fool.
Take door off and carefully drill and re-ream hing holes as you have new pins anyway?
Also could drill and tap pin so you can screw in a bolt to pull it out?
There are many sensible options, but require careful execution.
Maybe you should find another way to mount that mirror :thumb

Kim I would not try taking the hinge out. Good idea to mount it the same way as the drivers side.

Have a look at http://www.thebugshop.org/gotech.htm. Recommends an air
chisel with a suitable bit. Haven't tried it myself but having achieved some amazing results with air tools elsewhere, I can believe it works and is
much less likely to cause damage than whacking away with a big hammer. Obviously less of an option if you haven't got access to air but might be
worth borrowing, renting or even buying (now that Bunnings sell compressors for $99) the gear to save destroying an Oval door.
Cheers
Hugh

I used my air chisel with a moil (pin-shaped) attachment. Sprayed WD40 on it, left it a couple of days.
Initially I couldn't budge it, but that was because the WD40 wasn't soaking in past the paint on the pin/hinge.
Once it soaked through it came out easy as!
