3 Speed Shift lever

I am trying to replace my shift lever on the column with a chrome one from my custom cab parts truck. All my other trucks the pin was worn and just slid out. This one I have hit with a punch and will not budge. I do not want to hit it any harder. This feels like a stupid question but is there a trick to this? I know it's not siezed because it moves a bit when shifting. If/When I get it out, will it still be tight?
Thanks.

Some aftermarket ones use a hollow pin with two buttons that slide out in to the casting. they don't push all the way out.

That's a tough call. It sounds like you are being careful and that's the best way. Worse case you could carefully drill the pin out?

Have the T18, but if recall remove the horn button(push down and twist counter clockwise0) there should be 2 nuts, check to see if they are secure. Caution, the bolts are beveled on the underside and can be tricky getting them anchored.
