Default OOOPS! Anybody ever break an alignment in a Delta 14 inch bandsaw (or equivalent)?

Well, I did it. I was trying to install a riser in another Delta 14
inch bandsaw and I snapped the back pin in half. It was sliding out
of the holes when I failed to lift the top arm evenly and it just let
go. Does anyone have any proven suggestions for removing the broken
pieces? These are blind holes and those pins will not drill at all.
Thanks in advance for any insight provided.

You could grind them (it) down flush and forget it's there. Or you
could drill a smaller hole from the other direction and push it out
with a pin punch/nail.

I left mine out completely to get enuff movement for tuning up the
wheels to coplaner.
