this punch u talk about, is it a specialyu sized tool?

Try the flat end of a drill bit - needs to be the same ish size as the pin or a bit smaller, but not too small to spread the pin apart.

you need something hard, about 4 or 5 mm diameter. idealy a parallel punch or somthing similar.

mine was a *horrid woman* to get out. ended up making a tool, nice and long so i didnt have to do it from under the car.
u need to shock it, and it will come easy. anything too soft and it absorbs the shock too much and it wont budge.

If it is particularly stubborn try wedging a piece of wood behind it to keep it solid
