Default installing passenger pegs

I can not believe I can't find **** on this subject!!!

Been getting everything I need to take this girl out on my 48 and I finally get the peg mounts yesterday. Supposed to take her out tonight and I go to put them on...... Ok I see exactly where they're supposed to go except the screw holes have a solid smooth round flat whatever chunck of metal.... No alan wrench head, no screw driver head, nothing.

How do you get these out? This is possibly the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Put a ****ing head on it!!!!!!!!!

About to start throwing stuff, lol.

Its just a lil plastic head if its the same as the ones I just popped out of my superlow. I used an xacto knife to pry them out and tossed em in the trash when I put my pegs on a couple weeks ago.

When I get mad I like to get a hammer.... So I hammered a nail into them and then screwed them out.

Don't have a coronary before the date. If you're going to have one, at least have one during sex. Lmao.
