I accidentally popped a pin all the way out a couple weeks ago when I had my chain off for a major drive train cleaning and new cassette installation. It took me 45 minutes or an hour, but I did manage to get the pin back in. The chain's run fine for about 150 miles since then, but lesson learned on not pushing the pin too far!
