Just had to remove mine.
The pin actually goes through the drawer front and not the actual drawer so you don't have to take the pin out.

If you open the drawer fully (you have to give it quite a pull)
If you then hold the front of the drawer and pull the actual drawer itself it will slide out along the front of the drawer.
Again you have to give it quite a tug as it grips around the pin.
Sounds complicated but when you do it you will see that it is straight forward.

Hi There
From memory there is a little pin that is visible at the top left corner of the drawer. This pin can be lifted using a small set of pliers, to release the drawer. It is put back in when you want to lock the drawer back in position.
Hope this helps.
Best regards
