good job Des well done & thanks for posting the video. I need to replace my door hinge pins too. it would have been helpful to list a link to the 9.5mm shoulder pins as its an odd size and difficult to source. If you need to do anything similar again I can recommend Carbide drill bits which though expensive are the toughest bar none and last forever. They eat through toughened steel like a knife through butter at slow speeds.
If I remember correctly it was an imperial shoulder bolt, the pin was around 8mm so I just upped the size a bit and found 9.5mm. It was really difficult to remove the pin but replacement hinges are too expensive and this was a low cost fix.
