Hi Wall Firing Pin Bushing

[Khym]

My first post! I've got a Hi Wall that was in storage for a long period of time. There is a bit of surface rust of no great consequence but there is a more serious problem. Rust appears to have frozen the firing pin. I need to remove the bushing to get access to the pin. I've tried a bit of gentle prodding with a pin punch and a brass hammer but these are the wrong tools for the job so I've stopped work and am seeking advice. How do I remove the bushing?

Soak the breech block in Brake Fluid for a few days. I use it for everything that is hopelessly frozen up. If the firing pin hole is enlarged... look in Frank De Haas book The Single Shot Rifle for instructions for how to install a firing pin bushing.
