Pulling "Stop Pin" on rear brake Caliper???

Anyone ever successfully punch this pin out of a R53 MINI rear brake caliper? #1 in the full caliper pic.
If so, please share your magic method.

Why am I taking it off? I think the seal under the hand brake mechanism is damaged from either the chemicals I used to strip it or the heat it took when getting powered coated. So I need to punch this pin and pull the handbrake mechanism off and inspect it.
Thank you!
