Get some steel yoks and some locktite. That should solve the problem.

what i did is got one side set in place and then pushed it downwards on the floor, it pops almost atw and then just use pliers to get it in the last little bit.
pliers are only good for the last little part of getting them in.

You need a new drill bit. Tamiya's steel is pretty soft. I can drill through one in 45 seconds, and I use a 9.6V Makita with a 1989 battery.
