I think I'm going to go ahead and drill out this small pin. The last thing I want to do is crack or shatter this 62 year old casting! eek I'll need to get some colbalt drills and just carefully step drill that pin out.

Also folks do you think I could use one of those honing tools that you use on brake cylinders to hone the new bronze bushings to get a slide-fit over the pivot shafts? The shafts are 3/4 inch in diameter. Or am I better off reaming them? I'd have to find the right sized reamer or take the clutch and brake pedals to a machine shop.
