Paul:

I think you have to sacrifice the Castor Bearings. They are made of nylon 
and as one person said, thay will break up when you mash the top of the 
pin to dislodge it. Try soaking in liquid wrench overnite, first. It is 
scale on hte pins that is stopping them from loosening up. The liquid 
wrench is used to break up the scale/rust.

Maybe someone has turned replacement castor bearings. If my machine shop 
was operating (instead of being packed, I would turn some up on the lathe. 
Try to save parts of the bearing for measuring up new ones.
