Hinge Pins 99 Sonoma. Welded in?

Hi, I have read all the threads I can find, watched a number of youtube video's, and read on other forums how to replace the hinge pins on my 1999 Sonoma.

My bushings are shot, the door sags, I can hardly close it. Instead of clips that hold the pins in, there seems to be a glob of weld on each side where the clip should be. It is bigger in diameter than the hole where the pins go through, so I am afraid to pound on the pin. I tried to knock it off with a hammer and chisel, no luck.

Has anyone ran into this problem? I don't have a chop saw and my sabre saw wont fit in there.

Thanks
