There are 2 main heel pin sizes, 120 (Larger) and 115 (smaller in diameter). There is also a 3rd smaller pin that can crop up now and then.
If a heel pin has been worn down too much it may not be removed with a pair of pincers, then it can either be drilled out with an extra strong drill bit or the tube surrounding it filed down to enable the pin to be got at....best left to a shoe repairer. Hope this helps
