Hello, the caterpilar I am working on has been kept up well, however there is 1 pin that will not take grease (see picture). It squeaks loud and there is a **** ton of play in the bushing (since it has not been greased for many years)
The pin shifted all the way to the left, and froze in that position. I think that because of it shifting so far to the left, it cut off the grease ports. So...
I have done the following so far
im out of ideas and need some experienced help please. Have any of you guys been in a similar situation, if so, what is your opinion on this matter?

I have done the following so far
- used a grease fitting rejuvenator which did not work.
- used a sledge hammer to try and shift over the pin (when in a position with no weight on the pin)
- used a press on the pin with a lot of force, while moving the boom. Even though the pin had a ton of play in that process, it still did not shift over.
- used a press and hammered the pin and it still did not move
