67 Coronet convertible cylinders

[pwm72]

I am replacing my convertible top cylinders on my 67 Coronet. I removed the “mounting plate” and pulled the little pin that retains the ram to the top mechanism, but what is the trick to removing that ram eyelet from the pin? It does not feel like a nut on the back and the “pin” just seems to spin.
Any ideas?

I stepped away and upon coming back, figured it out. It is just a pin that you drive through.
