Giancarlo. It depends on which toggle pin. If it is the rear toggle pin, just tapping it out right to left with a brass punch or wooden dowel should be enough. I can't imagine any amount of corrosion which would prevent it from coming out with a few, brisk taps. Soaking the area with Kroil, liquid wrench or similar product should loosen it beforehand, it this is preferred.

If it is the center toggle axle you are referring to. This pin is held in by a second, small pin which anchors the axle pin in place. The top of this pin can be seen in the middle of the left toggle "knuckle". This pin needs to be tapped out from the bottom in order to free the larger, center axle pin.

The pin that holds the breechblock is also a tap out, with no securing pin.
