On my 55.1 I put the assembly together, put the rivet in the hole, turned the whole thing upside, rested the head of the rivet on the top edge of a closed vice. Then, I held that and the set tool in place with one hand/arm and hit the tool with a hammer in the other hand. The rivet is fairly soft and will set easily.
