Not sure on the video. I used penetrating oil and soaked over night. Then I used an air chisel with a pin punch while my brother held the top of the hinge with a piece of wood to keep it from bending the hinge in the door. If the door is off the car use a clamp from one hinge to the other and a block of wood between them. You can drill them but it will be tricky due to clearance for the drill if the door is on the car. If off, you should be able to drill as needed. The pin replacement kits do come with a oversized bit to make the hole in the hinge round and for the oversized pin to fit.
