It  looks like a roll pin
I have not  looked at manual as get
But I would make a puller  
 if that hole  goes rite through
get a bolt that fits  that you can  slide a piece of pipe over
YOU will need some washers  
 and a nut on the other end and tighten slowly and see if it moves
NO hammers    if possibly
be back to you on this

I have a 69  I will be working on tonight I may be able to help tomorrow

Hi Murray, this might help. Had to take the pages with the camera, my scanner decided to have a dummy spit for some reason. :beer:

Happy to help Murray,

I purchased a new brake handle from Corvette Central and it came with the diagram.

Have a look at their Tec section http://tech.corvettecentral.com/   interesting articles in it

Some of our C6 Guys might find it helpful :smirk:

72`s post is excellent

The service manual I have  shows Zip
the replace  park  brake cable  is very basic
above is  the sort of thing the manuals should show
