note, you only need to remove one pin, the lever will then come out.
I tap the pin hole 1/4" ,  ( BSF, NF, NC all work OK ) , and install a bolt
with the inner end tip machined down to pin diameter where it enters the gear
lever.

Gerry,

The pins are held in by the metal at their outer ends having been peened over,
so file or grind this away till you can clearly see all of the diameter of the
pin. Next, take an old punch and grind two sides flat to the width of the
groove in the ball of the lever where the pins locate the lever. Then grind
the punch to a gradual taper. Push the lever to one side, insert the modified
punch in the groove under the head of the pin and hammer downwards. This will
drive the pin out. Repeat on the other side.

When re-installing the lever, tap the pins back in and seal their ends with a
small blob of JB Weld.
