Help Needed Removing Panel Hinges

I have been trying to remove the plugs covering the nuts/bolts that hold the hinge to the back doors.

Anyone know how these are removed? Can't find it in the 56 repair manual or on the Internet

Tried a chisel and hammer but nothing's moving

I can't get to the back there's a plate between them and the outside door skin. I thought they were just caps but I've beat on them with a chisel and hammer and can't get them to move at all. I gotta believe Someone has had to remove the hinges before me. DR Smith says his PO cut them off I can see now why that may have happened

Yeah check out my hinges (post 1) the bolt is loose so I'm pretty sure hinge pins aren't gonna help I was going to take them off and see if someone could fix them. But I found out now it isn't an easy task
