I'm having a hard time with removing the pin in the lanyard loop to get to the main spring in my Italian made 92FS Inox Beretta. I've tried pressing it down but there is no give at all and the pin is not coming out. Any tricks or just hammer it out?

You have to hammer it out. If you can, get a second set of hands to push the lanyard loop in slightly to relieve some of the pressure on the pin. That pin was a PITA when I changed my mainspring.
you only need one set of hands, if there is an actual loop, push down slightly on the frame against the loop to take pressure off the pin, then puch the pin out. If there is not loop, (flush plug style), then use the corner of something sturdy to push the plug in slightly and push the pin out.

that’s what I thought after watching a bunch of utube videos, however mine was impossible to get out. No amount of pressure on the loop did anything. I actually had to hammer the pin out. Later when I had it apart I tried slipping the pin in(without the loop and spring in) and realised that no wander it didn’t want to come out, the fit is soooooo tight that it definitely needs a hammer

American made 92FS's have a lanyard loop pin that almost literally falls out when the lanyard loop is pushed inward, and pressure is taken off of the pin. There is no spring pressure applied by the pin...it is held in place by the spring weight of the hammer spring on the lanyard loop, and it, in turn, holds the lanyard loop in place. The Italian made models use a roll pin to secure the lanyard loop, which actually compresses slightly upon installation. Since your Beretta is Italian made, this is the reason why you had to hammer the pin out.
I personally don't like the roll pin all that much. All of my Beretta's have been converted to the US set-up, simply for ease or removal, and the fact that they are solid pins, not hollow. It also allows for easier testing of different hammer springs when trying to set up that "perfect" trigger feel.
