Removing a pop rivet. Sounds easy right? Some go way too far and destroy the hole it came out if. I'll show you the wrong way and how I remove them. That way you have a good area to reattach.

This is precisely what the internet is for when it’s at its best. Your video helped me and made my job simpler. Thanks

Thanks for the video - I can tell you, your method is the best one that worked. It also doesn't need any special tools. This is also an important consideration since I am DIY guy and not a professional. So I can't afford to buy special tools just for a once in random situations. Thanks and keep sharing your wisdom.

Super helpful, thank you! I have a bunch of rivets to remove from inside a van I just bought and if I were to blindly drill through, my van would be left with a load of tiny holes in its walls and ceilings... this is the first workable solution I've seen, thank you so much for sharing 🙏

Working on getting my dirt bikes exhaust rivets out and I wish I watched this before I drilled through the middle of them. I have half them left in but I'm gonna give the punch idea a try

Well done video, Thanks. I was thinking that this would be the way to go but I always check KZfaq before trying something for the first time to avoid possible embarrassment. Some of the videos on this subject look like they are butchering the original hole by trying to drill the steel pin. If i had a bunch to do I would make a drift bit for my pneumatic chisel. That should make quick work of it.

That’s great in ideal circumstances, although I’m trying to remove 23 year old rivets from a boat. The holes are no longer there and I don’t have access to the back of the rivet. I got 2 out really easily but the others I’ve tried are leaving the back of the river in the hole. I’ve tried drilling with a larger drill bit but the rivet just spins in the hole now. Any other tips??

What to do if there is no hole in the rivet and the top surface is plain ?

Trying to drill guitar case hinge rivets (they're small)., the drill keeps slipping off the head of the rivet. any special drift you called it? I can get?

I worked with someone this past week and he removed a few pop rivets by drilling them right out. lol Trashed the holes. 🤦

I like your method to remove a rivet. But in some cases it is not possible to get the rivet to an anvil and driving out the metal insert will just bend the metal around the rivet. How would you approach these rivets?

@MuscleCarSolutions 3 ай бұрын

Really don’t know. I’d have to see what that situation looked like. If the rivet went in, there will be a way to remove it.

@CalitranoN Ай бұрын

my guitar case hinges have rivets and I have broken drill bits and whatever you call that punch, they break in half... you can't drill a round surface everything. just slips right off, been working this for weeks now...

What is the best way to remove a rivet from a hot wheels car, where the rivet is part of the die cast piece?

@nigel900 Ай бұрын

Excellent technique for a small piece that can be placed on a vice. But for pop riveted fender flares on a 66 Mustang without banging dents into the body? Hmmmmm?

Does this also work with rivets on wood? We just realized that our bed surface was attached using rivets instead of screws.

@MuscleCarSolutions Жыл бұрын

I don’t know. I’d have to see what they look like. Are they made of aluminum? If you know the manufacturer of the bed wood kit, might be better to call them and see what they suggest.
