M103: How do I remove the pin that holds the timing chain guides on the head?

I'm trying to remove that pin that is in the front of the head and holds the plastic timing chain guides in place.

I'm at my wits end just about. I can't find the special tool listed in the service manual. I tried to improvise one with a bolt, washer, and a weight to act as a slide hammer, but it just isn't happening. Do I need to heat the head first? It just shouldn't take that much force to remove that pin. Should it? I mean, any more forceful impacts, and it might strip out the threads in that pin, and then where will I be?

Help me Obi-Wan...
