Default How to remove endpin?

It's a plastic pin which I assume is pressed in. Do these typically come out with a twist and pull or might I need to push it out from the inside? A cursory look indicates the hole goes all the way thru the endblock. I plan to install a jack.

Normally, it is a tapered pin in a tapered hole. It shouldn't be glued, but, it's a possibility. Twisting while pulling might help, as can pushing from the inside if you can get at it sufficiently well. Other options include assisting with pliers while twisting and pulling.

If all else fails, cut it off, drill it out. Typically, they are made of soft plastic.
