If they are not seized, they just pull out, pull the rubber gaiter over its lip

Had the calipers apart looking at changing the pins and how hard a task it is to replace them

Not sure I get your question - undo the pin retaining bolt, swing the caliper out of the way and pull the pin out of its bore. But surely if you've had the caliper apart you'll have done this already...?

If they come out OK then fitting the new ones is a 5 minute job. Remove the old ones, fit rubbers to the new pins, smear of high temperature grease and push them in and make sure the rubber is sealed over the lip on the pin and the caliper holder. Done.

It probably doesn't make a great difference but red rubber or silicone grease is recommended for caliper slide pins.

Just trying to find out how hard it is to replace the pins do they come off easterly when undoing the returning bolts that hold the pins to the caliper
