Grab a 1/2" socket that will fit over the pin.
Get a 3/8" fine thread bolt long enough to go thru a washer or two and then thru the socket and screw a ways into the pin. Then crank down on the 3/8" fine thread blot. The pin will pull right out. You may need to remove the bolt and add more washers to keep the pull going as it comes further out. Be sure to never seize the new pins prior to install.

Before my father gets upset and looses sleep, I KNOW its a 1/8" pipe thread in the Pin. Who cares the pin is shot and the 3/8" fine thread bolt will screw in and do the job.
