Yup, a straight pin punch of exactly the right diameter (clearance in the
roll-pin's hole), dolly the locking mechanism onto something really sold
with some stiff timber shapes either side or alongside the hole (get someone
to help hold it dead flat) hold the punch dead steady and central and strike
it quite firmly to break its grip in the hole (surface corrosion usually).
