Got this figured out. If one looks closely the post is one piece moulded to the top. You must cut off the top or snap it off. This leaves a hole in the end. Sometimes the hole is not perfectly round and it helps to put a dental pick through it and smmoth it out. Then reverse the post to the smooth end and push it a small way into the pin. Place the piece into the hole and tap the pin in with the hammer. If you try just tapping it the fact it is molded as one piece will always result in just bending it out of shape.
