Steve,

I was so frustrated trying to free my fulcrum pin on my '71 B that I ended up 
taking off one the shock/damper arms and unbolting the whole shock from the car 
with the fulcrum pin still attached.  I soaked the pin/shock absorber arm in a 
pail of Coca Cola for a day or two.  (I also picked out as much of the decaying 
bushing  around the fulcrum pin to let the Coke do its magic.)  Pin came right 
out.  A lot easier than banging the hell out of it.  (I Was replacing my shocks 
at the time with rebuilt ones from Apple Hydraulics.)

Best of luck,

Tim
