Good to know you figured it out!
I've had to do this a few times. Not always fun, and the pin doesn't always cooperate. I was working on an Automatic Tuning Philco a year or so ago, and that pin refused to come out. Fortunately I had a couple spare mechanisms, so I just pulled the mechanism and replaced it with another, in which the pin would come out. Cleaned and relubed...worked like new.
