Here is a tip instread of a hammer use a table clamp.
Here is how I did mine.
Step 1) wrap you body in belt (cloth or leather does not matter. This will reduce or even eliminate scratched to the rail)
Step 2) Put the rail and twist lock assembly between the two sides. (This will push the TLA out part way. It is better the a hammer for no scratches and it is more precise.)
Step 3) with the TLA partially out get a channel lock pliers and pull it out. (Getting it out the rest of the way is easy from here.)
Step 4) Put your dad's tools away he might yell at you for leaving them out. (My dad never remembers this part.)

The allen key will do nothing except loosen or tighten the tension on the spring that holds the pin up. You won't remove it that way. Turn the rail upside down and hammer it. If you have a press of some sort, those work too.

I would try and "punch" it out, using something like a screwdriver and a hammer. It should just pop out.

my only problem is i have tried hammering it out, but it doesnt move at all.

Yes, the setscrew does nothing for taking it out. it just holds the spring and pin in. To be honest, I usually just take the rail, holding it upright and smack the bottom of the twistlock assem. on a table until it pops out. Once it's loose, it will just pull out.

try to wrap it with cloth and put it in a bench vise

also the alen is onthe bottom of the rain,

hope this helps

You do have to punch and hammer most of them out. Many are in there VERY good. And it take a good deal of wacking to get it to move. Solid straight blows. Not light tapping with a light hammer. I use a big plastic deadblow hammer for this. It will pop out. Heavy hammer and good punch. Lots of towels on the bench and a steady hand. Don't give up. Some are pressed in tighter than others. It will and MUST drive out.

This goes in tech by the way. Moving.
