I suggest PB Blaster.

Once you get the pins out, make certain you clean away all the old lubricants. I find that carefully cleaning the pins and the hole in the rollers can make a dramatic difference in how well the unit operates.

Yes. That is my issue. Just tried wd40 to no avail. Any recommended products to use here?

The rollers spin freely. The pins are stuck in the frame. 

The pins are likely seized in the rollers due to rust or old oil/grease in this case.

They should just pull right out, unless they're siezed in the rollers or there is tension on the belt.  Spray some penetrating oil on the pins and rollers if needed.

I ordered the new part from him today. Although I didn't ask him how to remove the rollers. Any suggestions?

I want  to replace the belt. I have the back removed and I can only get two of the pins out (one that has the roller on it and one that doesn't. The remaining four that are closest to the motor seem to be stuck. Any recos for how to get these out. I tried some small pliers with no success.
