clutch pedal help please

The clutch pedal on my 68 is binding and does not return all the way when letting off of it. I started to take it apart thinking I need to replace the bushings as they are making a loud binding sound. To verify this I disconnected the clutch from underneath the car and the pedal is still restricted so I know the problem is in the pivot mount.
My question is how do I get the pin or pedal out of its mount? I removed the shim that holds the end of the pin, but I cant remove the pedal. Do I just bang on it till it breaks loose, or is there something else I need to unbolt?? Please help, its apart in my driveway, thanks!

turned out the pin is part of the pedal assembly, it was still being held in by the force of the helper spring. I had to remove the instrument cluster and then remove 2 of the 3 bolts that hold the spring support. When I did this the spring came out, then the pedal assembly came out with no problem. Also found out why it was not returning, 40 years of use has worn a deep groove in the pin so it was binding very badly. I either need a new pedal assembly or I need to have someone machine more metal onto the pin to strengthen it. I understand they make a ball bearing type bushing as a replacement for the stock bushings, I think I will go with that setup when I put the new pedal in next week. Thanks to everyone for your help.
