What is the secret to removing the pins from the gas block on a RRA barrel?  I purchased a 10.5 barrel and it came with the gas block already installed, and the pins will not come out.  I am using a large hammer, and the punch is literally starting to mushroom at the business end, but the pins will not budge.  What do I need to use to get these out?

Some heat?

Heat didn't help, but I called RRA, and they advised me thier pins are straigt, not tapered, so I went the other direction, and 2 punches later, I finally have the pins out.
