You might want to look that over and make sure there isn't a small set screw holding that in place.
Gunsmiths use something called a Bench Block for jobs like this. Gives the pin a place to go whan tapping it out but keeps it from rolling away

Just before you do wail on that pin, look inside the body to see if the clamp screw passes thru that pin. On several assemblies the pivot pin is a loose fit thru the body and the lever and is held captive by the clamp screw. Remove that screw and the rest comes apart easily. I've not worked on Modolos though so this may all be bunk but look at the diagrams near the bottom of this URL

Thanks - don't think that's the case, but I'll check.
