Lee Remove the door from the car first and turn it upside down, support the hinge before hitting it or you will rip the hinge from the door.

I had to heat the hinge up with an oxy (had to repaint anyway) then use an air chisel with a pointed bit to drive it out. A big hammer and punch
didn't shift it at all.
Hope yours are less stubborn than mine!
