Default Trunion help

I would use heat as suggested.
It will burn the paint off though....
I had recently repaired a large drive through gate.
The pins in the hinges were the nemesis of the problem since they were
frozen solid and the owner forced the gate open.
That was the problem.
I tried penetrating oil, W-D 40, etc. etc.
I was ready to give when I decided to use a propane torch.....like a small
plumbers torch.
I heated the area, well, let it cool, oiled it, (yes some burning and smoke)
and then worked it.
Doing this several times........
The heat expanded the fitting allowing the debris to come out and the hinge
worked perfectly.
These were very tight fitting pins in a large diameter cylinder.

does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this shaft out?
My saw (Rockwell contractor saw) has been very hard to raise the blade,
so breaking it down the reason lies here. It won't move.
I've used some penetrating oil to try to loosen it up, no help so far
take it to a machine shop and have it pressed out?
suggestions?
TIA
