I drill the head first and then use the power chisel to remove the remaining parts of the head. I have another rivet gun with a pin installed to punch rivet stems out of the spars. This one is a more expensive aircraft riveter with a 3x or 4x designation - a much more powerful gun than the Harbor Freight one with a higher quality trigger. I opted for bolts (mostly AN4s) to hold the new spar parts together rather than the large solid bucked rivets. I felt more confident in my skills to employ standard aircraft bolts and nuts rather than learning how to buck rivets on those huge ones that are extremely critical to the safety of the plane. Perhaps two years ago I would have worried about the impact a pound or two of bolts might have on the cruise speed of my plane. Today I am more concerned about having a safe plane than the last knot or two of speed.
