So it turns out the pins are just stubborn as ****, probably from the chain not being properly greased in the first place. I had to grab the handle of the chain tool with a pair of vice grips and strike the turning-handle with a hammer for about 5 minutes in order to get it to pop-out. I was expecting this to work with just manually spinning the pin out, so thats why I was askin in the first place.
Thanks
You should never use brute force on anything, especially something as delicate (relatively) as a bike, unless you know exactly what you're trying to do. I can't believe that your doing this won't have a) broken the pin on your chain tool, and b) bent the plates on the chain beyond repair.
