As you "tap" the pin in (not much force is needed), the loose collar
gets pushed into hole along with pin; that loose collar is what keeps
the pin in place.

The pin can be "tapped" into place all the way; the step on the
outboard end of pin stops up against the hole in caliper. You'll hear
and feel a change as pin stops moving.
