How do you remove a roll pin..

Depending on the size of the open middle of the roll pin, you can use an appropriate sized screw extractor, the square tapered ones would work the best. You may also have to drill it out partially till the extractor catches it and may need a carbide bit, of the size recommended for that size extractor. The idea is to turn the inside of the pin in the direction which will pull the material and reduce the outside dia. of the roll pin/split pin.

When she says no, it means no.
Which pin, which gun? Pin for what?
AR Put the rear trigger guard pin in the front hole.... (trigger guard was backwards too...
Can't get vice grips on it. less then a 16th exposed
I'm figuring I'm gonna have to drill it...
it's a 1/16 pin...
If you swing the guard forward toward the magwell, you can reach to cut the guard across where the pin goes through. You'll ruin the guard and the pin, but I think it will be less damage than attempting to drill it out. Than can turn into a mess.
... and you know what, I have a spare guard and pin I can sell to you.

I only need the drill the pin far enough the get the guard back out and I can drive the pin outta the guard....
I'll see if the drill press will co-operate... if not I'll dremel the guard and split the pin to remove it that way... neither is ideal...
Roll pin punches

Just a little tip for future reference.
Roll pin punches are not like ordinary punches. Roll pin punches have a little dimple or projection on the face, while an ordinary punch is flat faced.
