Magnetic pick-up change?

I am trying to change my magnetic pick up and I can't get the armature off. I don't know what could be holding it on, I have the snap ring out and I see a small roll pin that I am going to try next, Any help would be apreciated. Thanks In Advance

From what I have read you need a press. I just bought a rebuilt distributor.
