If the clevis pin is stuck you might cut it in half between the jaws and remove it that way. The end you beat on is probably mushroomed. A new pin is an easy acquisition.:rolleyes:

The wrap does 2 things first it keep you safe incase you bump it while it is hot and 2 it insulates the exhaust reducing the radiated heat in the engine box, both good things :rolleyes:.
