The collars usually unscrew upwards but stay attached - you don't remove them - as the collar moves upwards it allows the whole piece to be gently wriggled off.
My plumber says do not pull up on the pin with pliers but give it gentle taps with the side of a spanner or pliers until it rises on its own.
