    The pins are called split pins. yours are long. Sometimes they can be reused but it's better to get new ones as they are usually not expensive

  • @Noise There's also the issue where it's much easier to pull an old one than to thread it back in, especially if it's long, without spending an inordinate amount of time trying to straighten it out.
