I've used a slide hammer and a screw before. It works for me.

I hate drilling them out. Takes too long.
Ive never been able to get a screw in there good enough to pull them out. But I guess the type of screw is pretty important. Whatever I used definately wasnt cutting it though.

My drill bits died a quick death on the roll pins. I used my dremel cutting wheel to sever the pins through the gap between the sleeves and housing end, allowing me to remove the sleeves. Then I punched the pin stubs out of the holes with a drift.

Use a die grinder with a small cutting wheel and carefully cut a notch right through the inside of the sleeve right to the pin. Now use a punch and hammer. Two or three wacks later from the outside will drive the pin through your cut groove. Pull out you sleeve by hand. This should only take a few minutes.
