Throwout bearing support

["TJ Noto" <tj@domain.elided>]

I am in the process of cleaning my gearbox and bellhousing in the
solvent tank and am having trouble removing the fork for the throw-out
bearing.  It is held in to two cast-in towers that are part of the
bellhousing.  It pivots on two metal dowels/bearings which are secured
to the towers by way of a roll-pin.  

Has anyone tried removing these?  It's hard to get at the roll pins from
behind because there's not enough room to get a punch and hammer back
there, but tapping them out from the front doesn't seem right either.

Anyone?
