Getting the Stove Doors Off for Gasket Replacement

[CTstove]

I'm trying to get the doors off my Vermont Castings Intrepid II to replace the rope gaskets. The manual says to lift up on the door while swinging it open and closed and the two pins holding it on the hinges should come out. They won't budge. Sprayed a little WD40 on the pins (cold stove), but no go. Also tried a little gentle tapping with a rubber mallet. Anybody have a suggestion to get them off?

Thanks.
Chris

can you post a picture of the inside of your door? There are two bolts And a flange sort of speak holding the pins in the doors of my encore.
