English term or phrase: to back
Context:

"To remove the worn vlier pin, loosen the jam nut with a 1/2” wrench and back the vlier pin out of the block."

I was thinking quite a time why 'back' is used here, but then I got an idea. Let's look at the situation closer:

This flier pin means the same as 'spring-loaded pin'. And if you just whistling screw off the nut, all the things will fly, according to the Murphy's law, into the most inaccessible places when the nut comes loose. So I think that 'back' here means approximately: "while screwing off the nut back-support the pin, and when loose, take it out."
