I gave the exposed part of the pins a light sand and kept soaking them in penetrating oil, waited for the oil to do its' thing then used a drift to tap them out.
Hope it works for you.

Thanks for the reply... My solution was to drill holes at the back of the blind where the pins seat and then drive them out with a punch. Worked a treat and if they seize again its no big deal..
