To remove a broken locking pin back, follow these steps:
1. Use a pair of pliers to firmly grip the pin back's base that is still attached to the pin.
2. Gently wiggle the pin back back and forth to loosen it.
3. If the pin back does not come off easily, use a pair of wire cutters to snip off any remaining metal of the pin back.
4. Once you have removed the pin back, use a pair of pliers to smooth out any rough edges on the pin stem.
5. Depending on the type of pin back you prefer, replace the existing one with a new one.
Alternatively, if the pin back is stuck too tightly to the pin, you may also want to consider taking it to a professional jeweller who can help remove it safely without damaging the pin or the back.
