Default Headlamp motor replacement

So I been trying to replace my motors to my headlamps and I got the left one removed and got a new one on but I ran into some trouble with the right motor I can’t get the pin out of the socket to the rectangle I tried it with the chisel still didn’t come out I may have made the end bigger as well any tips?

Chisel???

The proper tool would be a punch.

I would spray a little WD40 on the pin, let it set for a few minutes. Then hammer away........

I remember having that issue with my right headlight, be patient. That pin hasn't moved in 30 years
