Quite likely the pin is stuck, either in the rod or the piston. I think those pins are hollow? I can't remember for sure. If so get a small piece of dowel, sand a point on 1 end. Use a very small torch and heat up the rod end from under the piston, you don't need a lot of heat. Insert the dowel and try to rotate it. Keep trying this process until it's free. You may have to point the flame at the underside of the piston in the area where the pin goes through the piston. It also helps to cool things down with a good penetrant, also helps to shrink the pin a bit. This method works for me. Let us know what happens.
