You have to 'spring' the legs of the rack off of (or onto) the projecting
threaded ends of the pins.

The part that touches the hinge should be smooth and unthreaded. If you
leave threads in there, they will act like a rasp every time you open the
lid (or it vibrates) and quickly wear away the cheesy metal of the hinges.
In theory, if the new pins fit tightly, you could just leave them in place.
Loctite might help. As I recall, one fell out entirely and the other fell
apart ...
