Hi

The pin was tight on mine - I applied loads of WD40 and left it for 10mins, then held the unit vertically on top of the vice and then drove the pin out with a drift.

It was tight - from as you say the swelling of the rust - but it did come out with no damage.

Given that you have had it in bits already, another go when its warmer will take you half the time!
