There is an old trick for getting a hollow dowel, a 'sleeve' dowel, out
of its hole, assuming the hole is blind.
The method is to 'hydraulic' it out.
Fill the hole approx. 2/3 with a stiff grease.
Take a close fitting straight punch that will just nest inside the i.d.
of the sleeve ( in this case , the roll pin)
A smart strike on the punch will shock the 'fluid' and drive the sleeve
in the only way it can go- up and out.
I've used it many times and it really works as long as the tolerances
are reasonably tight. The problem here may be that the roll pin has a
split that would allow the escape of the energy. Probably worth a try.
