It's easy. get yourself the thinnest slot head screw driver you have like a mini or a large jeweler's one. Hold the receiver so it is hole side up. with the butt closest to you, slip the blade of the screwdriver against the pin on the right side where is against the breechblock and slide it to the left. as you do this, push the slide away from you and it should come right out.

hope that helps

Thanks for response, but the slide pin is broke & I want remove & replace it. I see a little pin that might hold the slide pin but it's not buging. Maybe I'm not seeing what's really holding the slide pin

Thanks

Ohhh, well you need a 1/16 punch and lots of WD-40, hoppe's or anything that can dissolve the years of impacted burnt powder and oxidized oil. You might ant to compress the slide pin while you try to punch it out, as it will take the lateral pressure off the pin. But just keep soaking it until it frees up, you just have to be patient and take your time. Either spray it on or drop it in a drop of liquid, the choice is yours. But the trick here is patience.

Thanks, Compressing the pin while driving out was the solution
