You have to drive them in by tapping them in with a hammer.
Sometimes it takes some force.

I had to replace the spool pin in my SEWMOR and it is a tap in. I hate really beating on these pins so at first I just tapped it in. Couple days later it fell out. Grrrrrrrr...
I tapped it back in a little harder.
It fell out again. GRRRRRRRR
Then I stuck it in my drill and using a file I altered the rather steep taper on the end to a slightly less steep taper and drove it back in.
So far, so good.
Sometimes you gotta outsmart these things, or get a bigger hammer ........
