Nut holds the clip that holds the pin. Mine was stainless steel and did take a press to get out, but I had the MC out of the truck. I reused the pin on my current set up and made is a tight press fit too. Be carefull remember you are dealing with a relatively solid SS pin in cast piece. If you can get a vice grip around it so it twists that might help break it loose. a little emery cloth will help smooth the parts that have to slide thru the cast bracket. Penetrant will not hurt either.
