I know of nothing else than that is is to be put into its place with a hammer (rubber peferably).
I use a plastic/rubber tip hammer to knock them in ever year when I do my
annual. I usually grab them with vicegrips to pull them out. Not the easiest
process, but I don't do it often so no big deal.

When mine are greased up I can slip them in by hand easily. They are not loose though! Use a reamer of the proper size and your good to go. There is no reason to have to use a hammer to put the pin in place!
I reamed my attach points twice. Once before adhesive/rivet, and once after. They are still a snug fit. I like the close tolerance.
