They need to be press fit.
DO NOT pound them in with a hammer. Fastest way to split a body if those holes are too small.
I use a drill press and a wood block to set mine.
You could use a large C clamp and a wood block as well.
Just make sure the hole is the proper size and depth.

It's really easy. Just double check you measurements before you start pressing them in.

If you don't have a drill press, you can use one of those ratcheting clamps for clamping boards and stuff together. They have rubber pads on them and you pretty much just squeeze a trigger to close it.
