Here is mine, that I found on the internet. I modified it slightly.

I really really really (Is that enough really's?) thank you for that! :thumbsup:
 
In the diagram in the OP, why the admonition to remove the pins "From Other Side Only"? Don't think I've come across that before.
It's mainly a suggestion in order to more easily remove the trigger pin which has two grooves that must clear the slide stop lever when removed. One groove must be unhooked when pushing the pin out from left to right, whereas two grooves must be unhooked if the pin is pushed in the opposite direction. For the same reason, it's suggested the trigger pin be reinstalled from right to left. It's easier to remember to remove and reinstall all three pins following the same procedure, but not as important for the other two pins.

Some text is given below from the Glock Armorer's Manual (©GLOCK 2009, Page 39):

When the slide stop lever is moved forward and backwards, it can be "unhooked" from the trigger pin groove and the pin may be removed from the right side of the receiver.

Caution
If you try to push the trigger pin out from right to left, when you "unhook" it from the trigger pin groove, be aware that it will move into the second trigger pin groove and you will still be unable to remove the pin. In this case continue the rocking movement to unhook.

Good answer above, also the constant removal of these pins, and putting them back in again, does do some wear on the polymer. To minimize this, if one always takes them in and out on the same side, it gives a resting point where the pin somewhat is grabbed by the tight pin hole on one side.
