The pin actually looked flawless, just had some excess old (but not dry) grease jammed down the end of the hole. I didn't hit it hard enough with the hammer to worry about bending it and made sure it was properly seated before tapping it. The plastic (why is there a plastic section?) didn't show any deformation either.

Unfortunately I do not currently have a wire brush (didn't see a hand held one when I was at the store) but I did liberally coat the inside mounting surfaces of the new rotors with anti seize (the outside has a coating but not the inside )
