Autocruise Hinges Seized

Hi,

We've had our Autocruise Stardream (2007) for just over a year and despite lubrication two of the locker hinges have become seized. I've done lots of online searching and read lots of suggestions but nothing has helped so far. Nor can I find anywhere that
supplies replacement hinges.

We have removed the hinges and removed the end caps ... most online info' suggests they have a plastic sleeve inside with a metal pin through; and give ideas for dealing with this ... there are no plastic sleeves in our hinges, just a metal pin now fused
to the hinge it passes through.

Some info' suggests drilling out the pin ... but it is a LONG pin and, even if this could be achieved, surely this would leave a rough surface inside the hinge.

I would appreciate any suggestions of how to free up these hinges or where I might find replacements for them?
