Default *37 Headlight Rim Latch Repair Kit*

Bought these repair kits its for my 37 Ford pickup. How do you remove the old pin and how do you install the new pin. I guess drill out the old pin but how do you smash the new pin once in place? Use a pair of pliers or do I need a special tool?

I used a "dull" center punch to upset the end of the pin.
