What do you do just slide them into pistons and nothing holds them in right?

the Teflon butons pop into the wrist pin ID as a push fit. Another advantage is they can be re-used.

I used them recently, the 0.8mm wire size for my Yoshimura pistons were unobtainable.

Those are the best pistons made, ( MTC )
I have them in a high boost turbo motor , buttons and all.
Mine are flogged with more power and heat than you will ever see in your motor.
Make sure you get the rings on right and you will be good to go !!
