Oops:
I just hit it a little harder and it moved... I guess it was the metal ring on the pin that was stuck, which was why I was able to wiggle it around.

I've punched it loose enough that I can turn it with my fingers (or a wrench), and wiggle it back and forth a bit, but can't get it to puch out.  I can't tell what's holding it---it certainly looks like it should come out.  Has anybody had this problem?  Any ideas?
