I don't use a punch to install the pins. I use the channel locks method. I put some tape On the channel locks metal teeth to avoid scratching the lower and then I squeeze the pin into the hole instead of beating it in there.

I wrap tape around the pin to the roll pin punch. I use blue tape since that's what I use to cover the lower to prevent damage
