Jeremy,
I used a spare piece of hinge, Gripped the hinge I was working on in a vice
and slipped the spare bit over the end of the pin. Gripped with a pair of
pliers it bends reasonably easily like this. (How I ended up with a spare
bit of hinge is another story!). Dont use any hinge you will need as it
tends to open up the hole.

Subject: Bending hinge pins
Has anyone out there got a neat trick for bending the hinge pins? They're so
stiff I'm rather nervous of bending or damaging the hinge as well, and the
only
tool I've found that makes any impact on the pins is a large hammer.
Regards,
Jeremy
