Re: Removing Rivets - A better mousetrap

      Guys,
      
      The key I found in driving out the wing spar rivets is to clamp tightly on both
      sides of the rivet.  If not, the three or four layers of spar material will separate,
      effectively gripping the rivet.  On particularly stubborn rivets, I would
      take a 3/32 drill and try to hollow it out.  This seemed to help.  For me
      it seemed that about half the rivets came out easily with the air hammer method
      and the other half needed extra tender loving care to remove.
      
      Good luck!
      
      Dave G.
