I recall the same problem about 18 months ago.
I think it was a plastic peg about 15mm in diam. with a machined slot down the axis. I had to use pliers/grips to squeeze and reduce diam. then tap pins out.
If I remember correctly I removed the brackets and the drum assembly first.
I wish you luck
 
I had the same problem but it must be 2-3 years since i did the job.

I seem to remember that the pins were dowel pins. I used a screwdriver as a drift and just tapped them out with a hammer.

Be careful in taking that advice because i can't remember for sure.
