			Take a piece of metal that is sized properly to act as a drive to push the pin out.  Place a socket on the other side so that the pin, when driven out, goes into the socket.  Place the socket, shaft and drive pin into a vise.  Tighten the vise so that the drive pin drives the roll pin into the socket. I did this to my distributor, for no reason. When I got the distributor apart, it was clean, lubed and tight. No need for new bushings or anything. I should have just left it alone.
