Drive the pin up to remove it, making sure proper clearance is available to drive it all the way. the shaft can easily be turned by hand if needed.
Get a good punch and a good heavy hammed and smack it. Baby tapping it will just swell the pin.
Good luck,

LOL--again. I think you should look at a NEW roll pin. I suspect you will see that it is the SAME diameter for the full length. It compresses slightly to form a tight fit in the hole. However, one end does frequently get spread or beatup by improper installation or removal tools.

that is what I said. Can only drive it one way. Just trying to make life easy!

lol, i took the pin out both ways. i ended up pulling the trans stub shaft out still attached to the axle, then broke the punch trying to get the pin out. then i used another thinner punch to punch through the pin, and drive the the other punch out. then i used a drill bit to pull the pin a little bit. blah blah blah, then i finally got the stupid thing apart. got it all back together, test drove the thing. this thing is amazing. i love driving it.
