Another method is to use a 8 grade fine thread 3/8ths bolt about 6" inches long and some 7/8 I.D. steel pipe cut to 1.5 and 3 inch lengths and 3/8 fender washers and nut. You will have to cut threads up the bolt. Screw on nut to head of bolt, remove the grease fitting from spring pin and slip on several washers, then pipe and screw bolt into spring pin and seat. Align pipe over pin before turning nut while holding bolt head to pull out pin. Some pins may be rusted and will resist pulling, so you might need to hit the pin using a hammer and brass rod to loosen it up.
