Gentelmen

I am trying to remove the pin that the chain tensioner rail pivots on. The manual says this is a slip fit and should just slide out by canting a bolt or screw driver in the hollow pin and pulling. Well it probably was a slip fit 18 years ago, but today it is a fit with lots of coked up oil welding it in place. Does anyone have any tips for getting this out. I may try warming the block tonight with a heat gun.
