There's a step in the hole, press fit for the pin from the working face,
slightly smaller hole the rest of the way through. You remove the
flywheel, turn it around, and use a small punch to hammer the pin out from
the other side. If you don't want to take the flywheel off, good luck,
'cause those pins are designed never to come out.
Then again, new pins are only a couple of bucks, so you could save yourself
some pains if you have the time to buy one. Otherwise, give your snail
mail address and I'll send you one. I got a few spares lying around.
