Maybe it is because I have done it so often, but I never have any
problem with these pins. To remove, simply pull back the plastic
escutcheon, wind the handle so the pin is aligned vertically, and wiggle
the handle, cupping your spare hand underneath to catch the pin as it
falls. To replace, grasp pin in needle-nosed pliers, and push in.
(Actually, I've got so practised at this now that I can do it with my
finger tips...)
