Hello guys, do you have any special tip to remove the pivot from the hinge plates
without wrecking it?
It seems impossible to me.

Thank you very much

press it out. It would help if you referenced which part exactly you are asking
about.

I guess that it’s 313 pin that we are talking about.

Almost impossible to remove without damaging something, occasionally you can
push it out with something but never had much luck myself.

If the rest of the hinge is damaged I just break up the hinge itself to release
it.

Well, how? if you simply push the pivot (313), you bleach it immediately. I also
have a hinge revers-mounted with 313 in perfect conditions, hence my question!
there must be a technique

But… hinge plate is HINGED on the pivot. Pivot got to be removed, first… isn’t
that?

Don't take John P or his comment too seriously.

John P is a collector who has switched his huge LEGO collection for everything
else collectible, but still lightens our days by posting humorous comments on
this LEGO forum. He calls himself old but he is more of a rebellious child sometimes.

His comment is an example of the cyclic reasoning, meaning something like an
answer to 'How do you carve such a beautiful sculpture out of the stone?'-
'I just remove all the stone that is not like the sculpture'

Push a bar through the centre of hinge plate, being careful not to bust a side
off. Just be slow and careful.
