| Subject: | Removing solid rivets |
I am looking for suggestions on removing the solid rivets on the main spar. I have
had a rivet stuck, even using a rivet gun with a punch will not budge it.
While I might drill this one out and replace it with a bolt, any ideas to deal
with others would be appreciated.
Also, is it an option at all to drive out a rivet from the back (bucked end)? The
heads of some rivets are behind the rear ribs and I worry about damaging the
ribs while attempting to remove these rivets.

Try putting the punch in a drill press and using that as a press try and
remove it. If that doesn't work go to the next size larger drill bit and keep
working your way up until it comes out.

If you can remove the tail cleanly there is no reason you can't drive it out backwards.I
little bit of brute force may sometimes be of benefit so long as you
don't go over board,the metal does have spring back [ribs] within reason.I had
a couple of tough customers as well but persistence pays off and ear muffs.

Thanks for the suggestions, I will be back at the hanger in a couple of days and
