The pin that keeps the rod from popping out of the sleeve?  Those are roll pins.  Hardened spring steel.  They should drive out with a punch - as long as it is big enough to NOT fit into the inner diameter.  Unless it was very rusty.

Tried driving out the broken shear pin with a drift punch. Bent two punches.

Tried drilling it out and wound up melting two 1/8 drill bits.

Time to get a new shock absorber for the deck.
