While I have not had a failure in the retracted position, I think I would loosen the bolts which secure the motor assembly in an effort to take the pressure off of the pin. I'd squirt a little penetrating oil on the pin connection, as well, before attempting to drive it out, using the appropriate sized drift pin.
In my opinion, the entire mechanism, including the controller, should be enclosed in an effort to keep it clean and protect it from road debris. But to my knowledge, no manufacturer has done so. -Paul
