The hollow pin must be pulled. It takes a bolt with a 10mm head like on your thermostat housing. A clean bolt and clean the threads on the pin and a stack of washers is needed to pull it. get as near to full thread as possible leaving about an eighth of an inch for pulling and then run it in and use the threads to pull the pin, adding washers as necessary when you feel it bottom out in the pin. be careful and its a piece of cake.
