milano clutch replacement woes

[ethan schartman <eschartman@domain.elided>]

hey folks,
i'm in the middle of swapping the clutch on my '87
milano gold. everything is smooth as silk, except for
the roll pin in the shifter linkage. i am having quite
a bit of difficulty here - i don't think the thing has
moved at all since i started tapping on it. though it
does appear to be mushrooming a bit. 

does anyone have any tips on getting this out? i'm a
bit puzzled: i can't swing the hammer too hard due to
space problems, and if i could what damage am i
possibly causing the transmission?

should i just pull the whole transaxle so i can get at
it better?

thanks,
