Are you trying to get the pin out to get the old springs out of the car, or get the bush out of the ifs spring?

The bushes are pressed into the spring(hanger end), take the springs down to the local mechanics(make sure they have a hydraulic press) and get them out in about 30seconds.

he said he cant get the pin out.
have you tried taking weight off the car.
Jack it up slowly while getting someone to tap it with a hammer until its sort of loose.
Are you the james that works at all 4x4?

Try using a claw hammer or hit a big srew driver into the other side of the pin. Where it has the flat plate on it and it will leaver out .

I ended up using the angle grinder on mine and cutting the pin between the hanger & spring, then replaced the pin.
