I've  also been told by a ex-dealer mechanic that they used to just cut a
hole in  the bodywork so they could pound on the outer end of the pin.
Afterwards,  they just stuck a chromed plug in the hole and left it that way!

When you remove the "slipper shaped" portion of the gravel shield, and  
drilla hole abutinthe center of that, you can use a fairly large diameter   punch 
(it has to be large so as not to expand the bottom of the bolt) and strike  it 
with a sledge hammer. I think I even use a piece of 2x10 with a hole drilled  
in it to protect the body should I miss. 
 
I did not weld up the hole, and I did not use a plug. The slipper piece  
covers it  up just fine.
