The pin is removed by finding a bolt with the exact thread size that can screw into the pin, then stacking a number of washers over the pin under the head of the bolt. The action of screwing in the bolt should extract the pin. This is an iterative process where you have to stop, remove the bolt, add more washers, and continue until the pin is removed.

A really good straight edge will tell you if the head deck needs shaving.
