We installed the center rod using a flat "punch" about the width of the rod
and with a groove milled in the punch end. Just lay the rod down in front
of the center post, set the punch on top, get the angle right and give it a
good rap with a hammer. If the strings are not overly tight it will pop
right in.

As you say, getting it out is another issue.
