Spring pins
Try McMaster-Carr for good replacements. 500 of them are about $8. If you want to go crazy, you can get them in stainless.

Roll pin tool
Also, if you take a pair of needlenose pliers and grind a notch in the side of the "nose", you can use the pliers to remove and install the pins easily. Basically, you want one part of the pliers to push the pin out into the space created by the notch you just ground out of the the other part of the pliers.
I made a pair about 10 years ago and I use them often. The cheaper the pliers, the easier it is to make the tool.

How about drilling out the hole to accept the larger pin?
I've run into this problem as well and i drilled quarter way into the hole from both sides to free up the pin after i push it through. Less material is holding the roll pin so it's a bit easier to pull the pin through.
