It is very easy to remove the pin... Just make sure you have a
good #0 phillips head screwdriver. The ones found in cheap jeweler's screwdriver kits are useless, because not only are they made of soft metal which strips easily, the grips don't give you enough leverage to get the screw out. Use one of those, and you'll probably bung up the screw, the screwdriver, or worse yet, have it slip and hit the glass. Bad news.
You want one like this:
Better quality, & a big enough grip to give you some leverage. Use one of these and it's a piece of cake that takes less than 5 minutes.
Good luck,
