Let a shop do it. They have a special jig fixture to hold everything in place and align the pin and the piston properly.

If you just try to do it at home, you will end up anealing the metal (making it soft) and that is NEVER A GOOD THING.

Any shop that builds engines can do this, and they will charge you less than 50 bucks. Money well spent. Do not use floating pins on a street motor. It costs MORE, it must be set up properly and that means providing OIL to the pin.
