Anybody ever tackled this? I bought a new-to-me trailer with a ramp a couple months ago. The springs are weak, and my wife struggles to get the ramp lifted. I bought the springs, thought I had it figured out.

I ground off the ends where the pin was welded, figured I'd just drive the pin out, and drive it back in with the new springs and voila. I anticipated the new springs being a pain, but I didn't figure driving out the pin would prove to be such a PITA.

I sprayed penetrating oil in all the holes where it'd make sense to do so. Ground off the welds, and used a punch and a hammer and after some busted knuckles I'm going to buy a bit for my air tool to try and hammer it out tomorrow. Wondering if I bit off too big a chunk?
