Two questions here.

First, what is the easiest way to remove the pin holding the middle
hinge on a door? I suspect the middle one is the squeaky one. I've
tried using a hammer and screw driver metal end with no success. The
pin isn't budging.

If/when I can remove the pin, what oil should I use to lubricate the
hinge? Is WD40 an option?

Thanks. Eric

Personally I am not a fan of WD40 unless the joint in question has
dried grease. WD40 is more of a solvent than lubricant, use oil
(3-in-1) or white grease instead. I've had too many experiences where
WD-40 was used and after a short time the hinge/shaft seized up.

What's the group opinion of graphite dust? I should think it would
last longer than an oil.
