F-100 king pins

I am going to be replacing king pins in my 1960 F-100 soon and need to know about the reamers. Should the new king pins drop in, tap in or drive in? In other words how snug should the fit be? Appreciate sny feedback.

They will slide in with thumb pressure. The reamer is also designed to ream both bushings into alignment too. It has a guide built onto the reamer.
