Pull the shock and rubber bushing off, then heat the sleeve with a 
torch until you see just a touch of red. Avoid heating the pin itself 
as much as possible. Then grab the sleeve with a heavy set of pliers 
and twist. It should break loose and come off easily after that.

Don't mess with that. It would have to be drilled out and that's 
something you would do only if you were replacing the mounting pin.

You sent this to the list address correctly, so it got bounced out to 
everyone, just as you wanted. You also changed the subject to 
something appropriate, which was good.

It would have been better if you had not included a whole daily 
digest at the bottom. When you're writing a new message, like this, 
it's best to just start with a fresh "page." If you start typing the 
address, most email programs will autocomplete it for you.
