I was going to do the same, but as I had a few days off I thought i'd risk it and if they bent order some for the next day.
Just a bit of easing oil on them, tap them loose and pull out. They all came out easily, nice and straight! A mate with an R26 has re-used the pins multiple times with no issues also.
So - maybe worth trying it first? Save yourself £40 or £60 that way.
