A solution for you and the rest of us.
Remove the roll pin (2 mm x 37 mm) that retains the pinion nose bearing on a BMW R1200 final drive.
As you can see from the photo, this technique works. Not too flash on the roll pin but it comes out.

Good luck

Then the only other solution for spring steel roll pins is the "spark eroder".
This could also affect the larger short outer roll pin.
As the small 2mm roll pin is inside the larger outer roll pin, any heat in the form of attempting to silver solder/solder, etc will grip this outer roll pin and pull them both out.
Maybe that's a great idea!
Then you could tap a thread into the housing and machine down a bolt with a long shank about the size of the 2 mm roll pin to screw into the housing as it should always have been.
The next interesting exercise you will have is trying to acquire a new roll pin...
If you find them, please let me know. I'd like a couple. They are very hard to come by...
