Default Oil Filter Adapter Roll Pin

Okay guys I deleting my oil filter adapter, tired of the underside of my jeep being coated in oil. So I got the adapter off, but I can't get the roll pin out of the block, it won't budge at all. I have look at the various write ups and they don't go into much detail about this step. Anyone who has done this before, how did you get the roll pin out? Thanks for the help.

You have to cut it perfectly flush. Like machined flush.

Think about it...it can stop your oil filter from sealing. It's right near the sealing surface. Lol

Go buy a set of vise grips pinch and remove.

So I am new to the jeep thing I just picked up a 93' cherokee. Well i need to get a few things for it and i keep coming across is it a Country, Sport, or Cherokee. How can i find out what it is. Is there something that a country or a sport has different than a normal cherokee? Anything will help thanks.
