There are different ways to do replace the string. Personally, I reverse the pin at least 3 full turns, and then, using a pair of needle nose pliers, guide the string into the hole of the pin, and while turning the pin, guide the string with the pliers to get a nice even coil.

Now, as per Randy Potter's course, I originally learned to replace strings by backing the pin out quite a bit, and without using a dummy pin. Could I please get some e-mails briefly describing replacement by using a dummy pin? I know to back the pin out 3/4 of a turn, and putting about 3 full coils on the dummy pin. But all the inbetween stuff that may save me some time and heartache, would help. Thank you so much!
