putting in oil pump pressure spring?

so I got my oil pump in today, and I unbolted the 4 bolts holding the oil pump together, and now i simply cannot figure out for the life of me how to get the pressure spring out so i can put the Mr. Gasket #26 pressure spring in!

Any help will be mondo appreciated!

It is held in by a roll pin. Drive it out with a punch, 3/32" I think would be the right one.

thanks RB! Worked like a charm. I didnt have the right sized punch so I used a nail and hammered it out with the nail (nail was same size, or smaller than the pin), this also helped because the old spring didnt fly out when i got the pin out hehe.
