Awesome DIY! Thanks for adding...there isn't enough on E70s and this is a great addition to the forum's collective knowledge.
I believe the E70 folks as a majority are not turning wrenches on the trucks quite yet.

The push ins you speak of, I typically just chop the heads off with a side of side cutter, then push the remainder through the hole, your local autozone/advance auto sells replacement push ins for Ford, Chrysler, GM, that do work as an acceptable replacement for these.
