That's your problem. I've used those types of pins before. You TURN them BEFORE pushing them.
What you did was push the stop hard against the detent pin, so hard that you could not rotate the pin. Using pliers to yank the pin out popped the detent out of place.
If all else fails try to find and read the manual before forcing anything.
