I think the bronze pins are rare and NLA with all the new ones being  steel.

Jim,


Heat will most likely not work.  The pin should be bronze and will  expand 
faster than the steel just making the fit tighter.  When I had  this problem 
I was able to cool the pin enough for it to come out but I had to  use 
liquid nitrogen to get it cool enough.  Perhaps a aerosol can of  coolest will 
work using the tube for the can nozzle to spray in the hole going  the length 
of the pin.
