What's the correct procedure here??

Soak your pin with a good penetrating oil. Then soak it some more. Use a pin punch and hit it a little more that lightly. You don't want to hit it like you are going to drive it out. Hit it so that you set up a vibration so to speak. Get a kind of rhythm, like a blacksmith working a horse shoe. Don't beat it. let the weight of the hammer do the work. That should work.
