It's a press fit.
The only method that seems to work well is heating it, then support the hinge and use an airhammer to drive it out.

the best way i have found with out heat or beating the piss out of it till the hinge falls off is to take the door and put the hinge in a vise. Use a bigger socket on the top of the hinge that goes over the pin and a short punch on the bottom and press it out. it is tricky with one person but it can be done.
good luck hope this helps :D
