Punch/Hammer <- major PITA.
Air chisel with a punch attachment. <- takes 2 seconds with this.
Several people are going to tell you to leave it connected. <- unweildy
I rigged something a long time ago with a HUGE pair of vise grips, a 14mm deep-welled socket, and a nail that was cut-in-half.
Get yourself an air chisel, and save yourself the greif. Honda recommends against re-using that pin even though there's a clip that holds it in place, and it's like $7. Something about the shifter getting sloppy with too much play. They call it a roll pin.

Well, it is an 8x20mm roll pin...
Anyway, I've taken an engine out with the linkage attached (major PITA) and one linkage blasted out with and air hammer/chisel in two seconds. Air tools = the shit.

Yeah, just use a punch and hammer. 8mm punch I believe. Some are stubborn and don't want to come out and some come out very easily. I hope you aren't the latter of the two because you will be hating that stupid pin by the end if you are.
