The image shows a single latch pin, so they should be pretty easy to remove.
However..the housing looks as if it could also take a double latched pin, in which case they can be quite difficult without the correct tool.
Single just needs a thin flat blade to push down the latch to allow removal.
Double requires this on both sides.
ie this sort of thing, but proper tools are expensive.

This thread covers a similar topic, with links to cheaper slightly more generic tools, as well as Chinese extraction tool, sets, which are pretty good value, even if quality may not be great.

Thanks guys, Stevie you’re right it’s a dual latch pin.
Trusty paperclip to the rescue!
Much appreciated
