Spork, the bottom pin should be holding in the lanyard loop and does not need to be removed.
The top pin has to come out before the plunger and spring are removed. Be sure the spring et al are depressed before trying to remove the top pin and that you control the release of the plunger and spring after the pin is removed. Plungers can be launched and they find places to hide that you would never think of.
