Jeff,
It might be that your probing wire is just too small and passing through the
ID of the rolled pin.  When removing tension pins, you need a pin punch very
close to the diameter of the pin in order to successfully remove the pin
without trauma to the assembly or the pin.  Working strictly from a waning
memory, I recall that pin as being 2 - 3 mm (about 3/32 in.) in diameter.
The one I removed drifted out with little effort.
