Hi well managed to get the spring clip off and can see the retaining pin but its rock solid and will not budge at all. Either its been pushed in too far and has burred over or just plain of rust hold in tight.  So no idea on how to remove it at all. Its had a fair soaking of DW40 sprayed into it since yesterday but still will not move an inch. Any thoughts apart from cutting it off and buying a new pin.

Don't cut it off! The remaining bits will be that much more difficult to remove.

Grip it with a vice-grip and try to rotate it in position.  If it still will not budge cut a shallow notch across it with an Angle grinder and the use the edge of a flat punch in the notch to drive it outward.  Hope this makes sense.

Correction!!!

Check to see if the pin has a slot on the end that you can see.  I have a feeling the pin has a thread on the other end and needs to be unscrewed.

Hi and good afternoon. The part you scrubbed out was what I did. I found a pair of small vice grips and the head was small enough to slide between the two pads. Gripped the pin tight and rotated it several times till it became free to move about and that was it, it just slid out OK. It was a rust and much that held it there fast. I will have to order a new one as its too rusty. The other side was no problem again did much the same thing and it just fell out. So problem solved.
Like to thank you for your help. Have a great day and weekend.
Bye for now Ken..
