A substrate lift pin assembly includes a tubular support member connected to a bottom of a pedestal beneath a lift pin through-hole. The tubular support member has an interior cavity and an end closure with a cartridge through-hole extending through the end closure. A cartridge member includes a lift pin holder portion and a plunger portion. The lift pin holder portion is located inside of the interior cavity of the tubular support member. The plunger portion extends through the cartridge through-hole of the end closure of the tubular support member. A lift pin extends through the lift pin through-hole and connects to the lift pin holder portion of the cartridge member. A handle member connects to the plunger portion of the cartridge member at a location near a distal end of the plunger portion relative to the tubular support member. The handle member is configured to engage a lifting mechanism.
