You will need to drive out the pivot bolt with a hamer and punch but be careful not to damage the threaded end of the pivot bolt. You might need to machine the end of the punch with a pilot to fit the end of the pivot bolt.

The reason it won't come out easy is it's rusted internally. That happens when the bike gets washed and/or it's been ran through water.
This is one reason you should always dis-assemble new bikes (also used ones) and grease all the bearings and areas where it's been greased.

Hope this helps....
