The pin is _supposed_ to be bonded to the rubber in the silentbloc ... once
you've removed it this way there is no choice but to replace the silentbloc.
That may be easiest if you also remove the center link from the car, but that
generally involves tearing the other silentbloc apart as well ... since both of
mine were ruined, I didn't try doing just one with the center link still on the
car.

Of course it would be even easier with the body off the frame ... but so far
I've resisted taking that step !
