OK, I'm starting to get the picture now.
When you described the rust I thought wow. Mine were never rusted which probably explains why they tapped out easily. Then I looked and saw you are in the great state of Colorado. That might explain it.

Here we don't have the same rust issues that some of you folks have to deal with so we are sometimes slow to realize what a PITA it can be.

When you put the pins in, you need to coat them with some sort of high temperature anti-sieze that will help with the removal down the road. Toyota prolly has a product but if it were me I'd soak them in phillips milk of magnesia for a few minutes and let them hang dry, then pop them in. they should come out easily after that.
