What happens here

Begin by applying a lubricant, such as a light oil or grease, to the top of the door hinge pin. Use a tube with a fine nozzle to direct the lubricant directly around the head of the pin and into the joint where it meets the hinge knuckles. This helps to loosen any rust, dirt, or paint that might be binding the pin, making it easier to remove.

Goal: Ease removal of the hinge pin
