Might be a hex set screw at the bottom of the sight near the swivel.

Hit them harder. Brace the sight on something solid but has a hole for the pins to drop through.

Does the pins have a round side and a flat side?

The pins in my steel triangle were in so tight a 2 ton press was used to push them out.

In either case if you are trying to hammer it out, make sure you support the sight only and not the outer barrel. The barrel is probably alum and will bend.

you need concrete! I tried in my appartment and done nothing but noise. Wood absorbs too much energy I guess!

Only toke me 10 seconds with a hammer, a punch and a concrete curb
