Didn't even think of that. 
But I would think that if the vice grips at that force didn't bring it out, what would?
Perhaps not all are created equal?
Either way, I'm loving my new shifter.

hi mkiv808 -
Did you get it installed?
I will be doing the shifter in my Z next week - bought a BPP billet unit from a forum member.
I guess it is a crap shoot regarding the locking pin. If I have trouble with mine I intend to drill and tap a hole in it for a 1/4-20 screw, then screw that in and pull on the screw.
best regards -

That's how I did my HURST! Which works super.
