It took me a little longer than expected, about 10 minutes. I used a pair of channel lock pliers and turned it back and forth while prying up with a large screwdriver. As you can see the pliers did mar the pin head and it bent a tad. They are rather soft. I have done this before and the other one was easier. I took the rocker shaft apart before too without difficulty. I'd spread some good penetrating oil all over it ahead of time and that should help.
