Need help with how to remove a gate hinge pin.

Would it be possible to move the hinges up on the stationary fence post to raise the gate high enough to swing over the sod?

Build an A-frame around the gate near the hinge area to hold it upright, then build up some 2x4s under the gate. Use wedges on the 2x4s to lift it up and take the load off the hinges. Take out the screws, raise the gate enough to clear the sod, drill new holes (maybe tap threads if it's metal) and put the screws back in.



As you can see, I can’t get anything under the bottom of the gate.
I need to get the pins out so we can cut the bars off at the bottom.
Most of these hinges are just surface mounted. Why this one wraps around the post and the edge of the gate is weird.
