I have a cheatier way of doing this which is that you get a dress makers pin (they're long and thin), and a small rubber mallet. You hammer a hole into both pieces requiring joining, then use pliers to make the currently non-pointy end pointy (and the right length), then you put loctite on one end and put it in, wait about 20 minutes, and do the other half (make sure you support it in place), give it about 2 hours after that and it should work.
Note that using loctite runs the risk that if you stuff up, it's that much harder to undo the damage.
Loctite is glorious stuff!
