Rear brake arm pin removal trouble
Anyone have any idea why I can't get this pin out that connects the rear brake arm to the threaded arm of the master cylinder?
I removed the cotter pin and assumed the pin would just easily push out. I've soaked it in PB Blaster, tried squeezing it with vice grips, hitting it with a hammer - no luck.

When I'm faced w/ a situation like this, I get a loose socket that is large enough for the head of the pin to fit in (looks like a fairly small one, like 3/8" would work here), and a pistol-grip type clamp (a C- clamp would also work).
Stack the socket on the head side of the pin (w/ the large opening towards the brake arm), and then tighten the clamp against the face of the socket and the tip pf the pin. It should shoot the pin out of the arm and into the socket.
