Rear Footpeg Removal

What bike is it?
I think it comes out the other way so you need to tap it out

 

Unless I have the wrong diagram, there is also a circlip on the back which will mean tapping the pin from the outside inwards as @Rocker has already said.

I would also try and support the casting with a block of wood as you tap on the pin !

Ok so looking at the parts diagram again the grey cover ( detent plate - part 22 on the diagram ) should come off leaving you with the footrest itself, carefull not to loose the detent ball and spring, then the footrest should come off.

That detent plate may be seized in place if its been there since it was built so plenty of penetrating oil and some heat from a heat gun wouldn't go amiss, you may have to lever it off, try working both sides at once to avoid breaking the detent plate.

Maybe the rest will become clearer then on removing the pin.

 

The thing in the circle is a 3mm roll pin that you will need to tap out, you should be able to feel a corresponding hole behind the footrest casting.

You will need something about the right size with a flat end ( sawn off nail ? ) or a 3mm pin punch.

 

Maybe through the pin itself or tight through a groove on the side of the pin either would retain the main pivot pin, its hard to tell placement of the roll pin in relation to the other pin in the pic

 

I think you've sussed it mate

 

Not a problem, Glad you got it out and sorted.
