Default Drilling hardened spring steel?

Hey Guys. I got a major prob. Been trying to do a mod on my 8T outdrives. I bought the Xray Hudy outdrives and was going to install them. Problem is, the drive pin holes on the Xray outdrives are too small(2.0mm) and the Losi pins are 2.5mm. I tried like 5 bits and ALL either got dull or snapped! Can anybody help with this? Maybe a link to bits I need? I tried searching the net....but only came up with the bigger size bits. I think it's a solid carbide that I need? Anyway, any help would be most appreciated. Thanks, Curt

Here are the Outdrives:
