Put a little PB blaster on there and just wiggle it in a few different spots. It'll come off.

it does look a little rusted. i didn't  know if the pins had anything to do w/ it not coming out. i have a new one and noticed that the bolt holes are too big. i don't know if the old one is like that or worse because i drove it loose and made it bigger. almost tempted to loctite the bolts and put them back in. any thoughts.

Loctite or clear finger nail polish will also work
