I'm not sure where else to post...

 

Trying to dissamble my n50.  Youtuber shows the pin coming out relatively easy.  Mine won't move.  I've verified and hitting on the smaller side.  Pretty good walks on my punch w hammer.

Heat, drill it out?  Support it better?

What's next?  Heat?  Don't want to break expensive parts!

I would try a good soaking with PB Blaster. May take several days of soaking, but I've has it work on many old, oily engines. You can usually find it in automotive shops or departments.
