Anyone got some suggestions?

More limited space than the front- I've tried to tap it- no worky. Got it soaked with Cryoil. No help yet. Wiggle.. nothing, tap nothing... pliers. No help either?

It's likely that you know but the top 2 or 3 mm of the pin is knurled. It may take some force with a punch to get it started. It helps greatly to have the check strap in it's neutral point ; door half open. I had no luck with anything but a punch. If you have another out or a spare use it as a short punch.
