The other option is to try a hair clip, the type your gran would have had but the one think you don't want to do is pull too hard because if you pull the wire out without the pin then it is much harder to remove the pin.

Rather than taking the pins out and it not working, have you tried with a piece of wire joining what pins you are trying to join first to save you going to this bother in case it doesn't work?
