Robert..

This too may be a silly response, but have you completely removed the bolt 
that clamps the shock arm. The trunnion pin has a concave 'valley' at 90 
degrees that this clamp bolt passes thru..

Another thought (I've just been thru all of this) is to use a center punch, 
and said big hammer, as the trunnion bushes are metal-sleeved, and may just 
be pinching enough at their outter edge to prevent smooth removal of the 
pin..

Hope this helps,

I'm sure this is a silly question somehow, but is there a reason why a
trunnion link that rotates freely and moves freely up and down, about 1/8 
of
an inch, will not come off.  ( For the SAs, yes the nut has been removed. )
It seems to bind when it gets to the threads.

Bigger hammer?
