I had the same problem with an old Raleigh. Ended up at a machine shop where they had a hydraulic press that popped it out. Examining it I could see why it stuck. A ridge had worn on the flat. Some bike mechanics might still have a screw clamp like tool that squeezes the pin out when the bolt is intact, but I've seen them just bend the bolt. Good
luck !!
