There is a very slim chance the pin has some taper and you are beating it the wrong way. The machine looks to new for a pin to be seized that badly in the mounting ears.
The problem with pounding on the keeper pin end is that the pin will swell badly. Then you will have to maybe saw the pin off on both sides.
