Stuck pin

Hi gents
I'm trying to remove the top pin on the tilt trim ram on my m50D2.
I've removed the small bolt and washer that stops the pin from coming out. I've spraying with various things for over a week but it won't budge.
I tried a bit of heat today but I am concerned about applying to much. Anyway it won't move.
Any help will be much appreciated.

You may have either early or late version TT unit. Regardless, you will need a lot more force. Too much heat can damage rubber parts.
 
Thank you for your reply,
I have been giving it a lot of force with a drift and big hammer but still no movement.
I have ordered the nylon or similar bushes as they will be destroyed with the applied heat.
I'm a bit concerned I apply to much heat, so taking it carefully.
I can only keep trying and hope it eventually gives way.

I was hoping someone had a problem solving method to share, I'll keep trying.
Thanks

I managed to get the pin out;)

I now want to drain all fluids from the unit. Will by removing the power/manual valve enable the fluid drain out.
Thanks

Thanks Paul for the swift reply.
I don't think I'll be able to get air to it , I'm hoping with the filler plug and valve removed it will empty with gravity,,,slowly.
