These are modern times, we’re supposed to know better, NO HEAT ON THE AXLE!!
Use one of the bigger control arm bushing removers or one of the many cold methods described here on the forum. Such as letting the weight of the vehicle do the work. Or as Waldo did, take it out and to a machine shop. Remember, when you strike a close fitting steel pin with a sharp blow they tend to mushroom out and fill the hole like a rivet does, pressing is a much better solution. Some might say that the kin pin is hardened steel through and through, but it’s just a case and the steel a few thousands of an inch below the case is relatively soft.
