I had a dealer try to get the pin out and they broke it, they they told me tuff sh*t, I'd have to pay more for them to get it out

A machine shop in leominster was able to get it out for $15. Just call machine shops and ask. The shop I went to told me that only the outside of the pin is hardened, make sure you tell them that. I had like 5 shops not want to do the work because they thought the whole thing was hardened.

Good luck
