10/22 extended magazine release switch???

How exactly does a guy install one of those 4 dollar extended magazine release tabs on a 10/22 (factory)?

Are there any online illustrated instructions? ( i can't find any)

Please help us out!

Knock out a pin with a punch

There's just a pin holding it in, and the pin only holds one other thing in place (bolt hold-open).

The easiest way is to use a piece of dowel or similar to keep the place of the pin as you install the part. This "slave pin" will hold the other part in place while you install the mag release.
