Replacing Hood Latch Dogbones

I could not find a TM or guide to replacing the rubber hood latch dogbones. The top looks pretty self explanatory with the pin and bushing, but wasn't sure about the bottom.

Drive it out with a drift (punch) of the correct dia.
I always remove them from the body first and do them on the bench.

Thanks you sir! I suspected that might be the method but wasn’t 100% sure.

I meant pin punch, sorry I am a little foggy at the moment, a drift punch is normally tapered.
