I just use a small wrench and pliers. Slip the circle end of the small wrench over the rivet to hold it down and pull the stick part if the rivet till you hear the click. Then snap off by rocking it sideways once or twice... Might save ya a few bucks if the tools overly expensive!

I ended up buying in from just for jeeps for $27, it came with something around 40 body pins which are pricey at the dealer.
