Help with removing a Hydraulic Control Lever

[kubotabx2200989]

I have a BX2200 (surprised huh) and the "Rod Feed Back" broke. In order to replace it I need to remove the "Hydraulic Control Lever". It is connected to the pump (I believe it is the pump) by a collar which has two pins in it; #130- a spring pin that attaches the "Hydraulic Control Lever" to the collar and #140 - is a Joint pin that attaches the collar to the pump. I was able to remove the joint pin (#140). It is a tight area to work in and I have tried a number of different methods to dislodge the "Hydraulic Control Lever". I even applied a number of coats of WD-40, but it did not work. I am a hesitant to try really banging away at it. Does anyone have any ideas on how to remove it. Anything would be appreciatted.
