You don’t. If you took the nut off of the other side you can probably just hit it back through the hole using a punch. Or a screwdriver if you want to be a savage about it, LOL.

If the nuts are removed just smack them through with a hammer. They are known as a carriage bolt.

I know plenty of people had already said hammer, but I wanted to say that.

Consider a chisel, screwdriver and or claw hammer if you are unable to knock it out from behind.

Agreed, I seem to recall hitting it with another carriage bolt.

Set the wood on fire. Wait about half an hour. All the wood should be gone now. Pick up whats left with some tongs, dump it in a bucket of water. If the bolts haven’t fallen out on their own, you can now pull them out of the hinge by hand.

If you have a drift or screwdriver slightly smaller than the bolt, use a hammer. If that doesn’t work, use a FBH (Fine Big Hammer).
If the top of the bolt is tack welded to the hinge, use the FBH and a chisel to delicately remove the tack weld (unlikely, because most carriage bolts don’t need to be welded so they won’t turn).

Go to the hardware store and get a carriage bolt head socket and wrench

If the bolts are in tight somehow, idk maybe the wood swelled, just CAREFULLY notch the head with a dremel and make it into a Flathead screw.

Failing in that, you can get a bolt removal bit and back it out with a drill... Or just drill it out. But id be surprised if the hammer didn’t sort this out.
