This is what I do:
<![if !supportLists]>1. <![endif]>Use #30 bit to drill into the rivet head just enough so that you can pop it off.
<![if !supportLists]>2. <![endif]>Use #40 bit to drill into the shank of the rivet. Be careful to drill straight. The objective is to drill out the center of the shank and not touch the adjacent material.
<![if !supportLists]>3. <![endif]>Use a vise grip pliers on the manufactured head to pull out the now hollow rivet shank.

G'day all,
Removing AN470 rivets is greatly simplified with Avery's Rivet removal tool (Part #40053). But removing the rivet shank without mangling the longerons is going to be a right PITA. Anyone have any suggestions or useful techniques for removing rivets from thick material? Driving them out has not worked well for me in the past.
cheers
Ron
