Use Axe head or log splitter wedge --> RV8-List message posted by: "pcondon" --- I have had success with the log splitting wedge sold in hardware stores. The long taper wedge shape is perfect for that whole area in general. Axe heads tend to be sharp and are hollow ground and are usually attached to a large piece of hickory. The wood splitting wedges tend yield superior results...I used this wedge for many other applications during the building process....can't recall right now though....... Time: 10:44:52 PM PST US From: Garey Wittich Subject: RV8-List: Use a special Bucking Bar inside the HS ? --> RV8-List message posted by: Garey Wittich There is not much space "inside" the Horiz Stabilizer Assy to hold a Bucking Bar against the Rivet closed to the leading edge of the inner most Rib (HS607), as I reach my arm inside. Did you use a special Bucking Bar? It seems like a "hit and miss" situation to get a good shop head on this rivet, as it is done by Braille. If one screws up, it seems to me it would be difficult to drill it out without doing damage. Any helpfull ideas ? Did you use a "Pop Rivet" because of accessability ? If so what was it. All Skins and Ribs are dimpled for a -3 Rivet, so a CS4-4 ( 4/32 ) is too big in diameter.
