Plan on refurbing the door handles, but left with something I’d like to check:

Top view

Bottom view
Am I correct in thinking that it’s a matter of pushing the pin out from the bottom upwards? I’ve tried doing so but even with a liberal amount of pressure I can’t get it to budge. Is it part of the handle itself, is there a specific angle at which the handle needs to be, or perhaps an entirely different trick?
Any help is appreciated!
