I put a little oil on the pin and I use a roll pin punch. I start the pin in the hole and just as it gets flush I install the trigger guard. I usually lock the lower in a vise using a vise block. Never had any problems.

Split pins are the devil's work. That's why I only use RRA kits or Daniel Defense since they come with a Magpul trigger guard.
Just a little update:
#1 Thanks for all the help and suggestions from everyone!! :dance3:
#2 I put a few drops of CLP on the lower and let it sit for about 30 minutes. Then using the appropiate pin-punchs the roll pin slide out with "MINIMAL" effort...again thanks to the suggestions found here.
#3 The wood block, with hole drilled, method RULEZ!!:jester:

I use the spine of some magazines. Nothing gets damaged or bent. Bit quicker than making a jig, too.
