I think that the pin you are referring to is the one fitted with a thin rubber anti rattle sleeve on it.
This sleeve has become sized to the housing but the pin is still able to move, The sleeve is only about 2mm in thickness so if you can pull the pin STRAIT out the only thing that will be damaged will be the sleeve.You will have to use a fair amount of force and pull strait. I used a slide hammer screwed into the pin and a bit of WD40 . It will be the housing that has rusted and grown to the sleeve causing the problem
