Rear Hatch Replacement

[Three504spd]

Good morning, Hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday.

I will be replacing the rear hatch glass on my '94 Blazer (full size), I'm curious if there is a trick or tool that works best for removing the pins in the top of the hatch. I've read a couple posts about door removal and keep seeing channel locks, had a heck of a time getting the pins out of my parts truck and figure I'm just going the long way around. As the pins are in good condition I hate to muck them up by trying to drive them out. Any advice is always appreciated! If anyone is interested I will be documenting the process.

To get the pins out a long punch and a hammer will drive them out. I don't have a Blazer but I think you will find by removing the trim panel below the hinge the hinge probably bolts on. I don't think it is welded like the doors.
