I have just done this I will explain how to use them tools properly Put your pin tool in so the screw cap is on top for the top door and the bottom for the bottom pin. Put the suppled wacking stick on the threaded end on the pin (I screwed mine right down) and wack it a few times.. sometimes U need to turn the wacking stick vertical and use the stubby end to get some good force into them.. Once the pin is flat with the door put the U end of the bar onto the othersize of the threaded pin.. We spent ages trying to hit the pins horizontally with no luck.. then we put a 10" pry bar right up near the pin on the bar & hit it vertically.. we did each door in 5 mins with no hickups after this
