Default RE: Rustler vxl suspension help

Picture of the rebuild just because lol, and a photo of the carrier with pin. This is not the pin (in the photo) that is bent. It's the small hex pin that is bent. Anyways, I cant get pin out of the carrier (anything special holding them in?) and second how do you hold it from spinning when tightening the tire? brute force, and i'm 6'4 220 lbs, doesnt seem to be enough. I assume they need to spin freely with the bearing. This is my first 2 wheel drive.

And I do need to invest in a vice, it been a long time coming.

I can just order new bearings and I wont need to take them apart and can use as spare, but it's the principle of being able to do it lol. The pin is in RPM carrier and Im puttng new stock ones on. Are they a different size bearing anyways? I know with my Tmaxx the RPM came with bigger carriers and bearings than stock.
