If there is a nut on back, why can't you just drive it out with a hammer and punch?

Great! Were you able to avoid getting any heat to the swivel pin seal?

just some advise,get some grade 8 bolts and a nut,crank them down until you have zero play thenlet it sit for a few hours,remove one ov the grade 8 bolts and install the factory bolt and nut,then do the other side..the factory bolts dont have as good clamping force as a grade 8 bolt..just trying to save you from breaking the factory hardware..
