Pit Boss I brought back to life thanks to @Steven Goldberg !! Purchased this pair with a snapped right stem and was planning on pinning the stem back together but as luck would have it Goldberg had one in his stash! Pair now looks near new, perfect lenses and zero marks on the frame.
After removing the plates on the right side removing the hinge pin was surprisingly easy, used two layers of gaffer tape on the bottom of the right orbital and then just started tapping them quite hard onto a hard piece of rubber to avoid any frame damage. After about 5 minutes the pin was slowly starting to protrude out the bottom of the orbital enough to extract with needle nose pliers. Glad this pair could be saved!
