W201 Rear control arm Help

I am in the process of putting in the in the new rear control arm the third on from the bottom (pulling strut and many other names). The only problem I am having is the lower bolt the one that goes to the hub is to big to go threw the hole. So what do I do drill it out press it in?

here is some pics.

I take it the pictures weren't really from 2008?
So the bolt is different than the one that came out?

No I didn't change the date stamp after I changed the batteries.

No the arm didnt come with bolts I am reusing the originals, but the original bolt where the rings are wont go throw the arm. This is where it connects to the hub.
The arm is the control arm stay. The bushings on both sides were shot so I ordered the whole arm instead of the bushings. Now I am not to sure I did the right thing.

There is a bolt kit that has to be ordered with the new arms.

You see when I initially ordered the arms I ordered them from amazon and they did not state anywhere that the bolt and sleeve kits were required. I have ordered both kits one for each side for under 28 bucks they will be here today.
