YES that works, but kinda brutal on the gear. It had scars
from the punch.
Here's a pic for a 93 twin turbo part.

I'm still wondering how anyone gets those pins out. Maybe with EDM?
Robert
EDM will work but it is real expensive.
It is not that hard Robert. Give it the vise grip try.
If that don't work weld in a short chunk of welding rod and use a slide hammer
technique. That works for sure. People have used epoxy with the welding rod trick
but you must get all the oil out which is the hard part.

This homemade steel tool may help get the gear out.
