OK - I'm trying to replicate your problem back here.. I don't think you can get the rec. back far enough to get out the axle pin - if you try to drive it out - you'll really mar the rear left lug and the pin lip.. Removing the grip is not gonna accomplish anything (can't reach anything - but a good thought, Ted..!!)

The only way I can see to do it is take a small jewlers screwdriver - heat the tip and put a 90 degree bend in it. Working UNDER the right side frame rail on the INSIDE - slowly work it between the top of the holdopen and the underside of the rail... (You can see the cutout for the release on the right side you want to work on).. While doing this - pull the toggle back to try to release the pressure on the hold-open....

Give that a try - and I'll keep playing back here...!!!
