John, FYI. When you reinstall the pins, don't over-torque or they will mushroom and you will NEVER get a wheel back on. Trigo specifies 60 ft lbs; others here have suggested as a high as 80. I think I split the difference and haven't had any issues. Maintain good alignment with the pin while torquing. If the driver is not kept straight, the pin OD can become mushroom shaped around the hex drive. A mushroomed pin will not pass through the template or fit into the wheel. If this happens, the pins can be ground down if the damage is minor. If significant, the pins should be replaced.
