If memory serves me right, the straight knurled or fluted end of the pin is on the starboard side, meaning it has to be driven out from the port side. Or, it could be the other way around.
The problem is, if it is corroded in place or very tight, the end being driven will expand and lock that end in place. To avoid this, I’ve cut the pin between the hinges and replaced it with an aluminum rod epoxied in place.
