Front Brembo Brake Caliper Pin Stuck

Any ideas how to remove a stubborn caliper pin? I have bought two sets of punches and bent both. Other side came out OK this one is stuck solid.

Can you get mole grips on it in the centre and wiggle it up and down with some release oil On it
I normally just drive them out with a thin screwdriver or drill bit as a punch but dril bits can shatter/snap 61 AB 5.0 supercharged rocket

Finally got it out. I had to disconnect the caliper from the brake hose and get it on the bench then tap it back in from the opposite side then tap it from the off side and eventually it came out. I have never changed the brakes on this vehicle so I don't know its history. It looks like it has stood for a while.

looks like the last person to work on them may have put the pin in the wrong way round 07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater Smile)))
