I went to Lowe's and got a set of punches. They are blue Dasco Pro brand. I knocked out my pedal cluster roll pin no problem. I used them on the Bilstein and it was a little more effort. They are not brass, something harder but I'm not sure what. The mistake I originally made with the Bilsteins was not using the right size punch. They are tapered, so I though the pin went into the hole in the pin and the shoulders/taper rested on the outside edge. That has an amazing effect of mushrooming the roll pin. So did an air hammer my friend (a pro mechanic) used on his pedal cluster.
