I agree with the air impact chisel method..
I had an electric one that I used to remove fan shafts in roof top air conditioners for bearing replacements..
The tool impact end was flat mushroomed shaped and the last shaft I used it on was 2 3/16ths by 6' long..
It had 3 pillow block bearings on it and two squirrel cage fans of 20,000CFM each...
After I loosened the bearing locks and the fan housing set screws locks from the shaft I didn't even oil,clean or heat it..and it was on a roof top unit ..twenty years old..
I just started pushing on the end of the shaft with the electric impact and it started to move after 5 seconds and I pushed it right out of the machine in about 5 minutes..
slick as snot..that little pin should be no problem..Get an impact hammer...vibration is the answer..ask you girl friend..
