Hello! Let's see if we can work together and come to a satisfactory conclusion!
Boom pin? See the link below. The pins are tapered, use a large socket or hollow spacer on the bolt side, and use the bolt with a washer on the inner side and pull the pin by tightening the bolt.
Customer
I mean at the bottom pins where the bucket attaches
# 7 in the first picture link holds the bottom plate.
Customer
That’s totally different than the piece i am talking about I mean the pins that holds the piece between the arms that holds the bucket on
You have a picture? All pins go in the same basic way. You can't use a bolt to pull the pin out?
Customer
No the head of the bolt goes against a casting in side the arm and the nut holds the pin in
Has to be a way of getting to the bolt head and the pin. I am just not sure what you are looking at. All I find for the boom and the bucket holder are the two pictures I have sent. You say it is not either?
Customer
I have got the the bolt out but
There is nowhere to pul on the pin or to drive it out this is a2007 John Deere 317 skid steer are we on the same machine

The boom pictures are direct from the Deere 317 parts manual.
The pin is tapered. Put bolt back into the pin, less the outside washer, and use the nut side to pull on the pin, It will pop out of the taper and will be free.
Customer
Ok I will try that I thought that the piece inside the are was part of the arm itself but you are saying that it is the pin
Yes, one pin in a tapered bushing.
