Talking about the Knipex and C-clamp route, these work also:

The Knipex has more leverage and is better made - from looking at them before I went the cheaper Lowes route.

This, although I think you already knew the answer to this question. Roll pins, dowel pins (or any time an interference fit is required) aren't supposed to be particularly easy to put in, nor hard with the right tools. As stated earlier a little oil doesn't hurt getting them in or out.Quote:
It's also very possible that this post is retarded and that there is zero interest in such a tool, and that using used pins is a very very very bad idea.
Proper tools make many jobs simple and easy.
Roll pin starter punches and roll pin punches are the obvious solution to this simple problem.
The main reason I used them was to re-seat partially removed bolt catch roll pins when replacing standard bolt catches with enhanced catches. I used the Brownell's tool to press it out enough for removal and the compound pliers to press it back in.
On new builds I use a Walt's Tool and a roll pin punch, if I don't tap the boss for a threaded pin.
And, yes, I know that it would be easier to use roll pins. :o
ETA: I have too many receivers, so I like to tinker with them.
