20 HP 1972 Mercury Swivel Pin Seized

[Flipperboat]

Heated can't describe the frustration I am going through trying to get the swivel pin out of this frozen section of motor. I have heated, PB Blasted, greased, beat, and pulled on the pin to try and get it out. Is there something I am missing? This is what I know and I can't find any information on how to get the pin out. I looked at it and see that it can only come out from the top. There is a little notch in the bottom that you can see to use a punch but that didn't work. I put a bolt in the hole at the top slid a rod through the center of the pin and tried knocking it out that way nothing moves? Please give me another solution?

I will get some for you in the morning. Went to the shop today and put it on the press. Really put the pressure to it and it wasn't going anywhere. Please tell me something I can do. Maybe there is a set screw or something. Hope to hear from someone today before I just drop it in the can!

Here are the pics as promised. What you are looking at is the mid section right under the tiller handle. The rusty swivel pin is with the slot and hole in it is the pin.
