Try some penetrating oil, if that doesn't work maybe take a small object like a punch and see if you can wiggle it? It might be just hung up a bit. Also you can try to tap the outside of the barrel with a piece of wood or something to help free it up

Smash it with a hammer as hard as you can. Or unscrew the site post you can see the top of the pin through the hole. Might be able to pry it.

warm the front sight with a propane torch, see if that will help the spring, failing that you will need to remove the sight and push out the pin from the hole underneath it.

maybe some degreaser or solvent
