Steel swivel pins stuck in aluminum swivels "beyond hope" are a can’t hurt might help situation
With nothing to lose you can use the nuclear option…TORCH…fabricate the "Mercury Service Tool from threaded rod, pipe, nuts and washer. Install on swivel pin and apply tension.
Then HEAT the swivel in the area of the pin…LOTS of HEAT and some twisting of nut to increase pressure. There can be only two results…one is GREAT and the other leaves you
no worse off. If it does not work you may have to saw thru pin to remove swivel from
saddle. Once unstuck swivel and pin may be good enough to use.
