For me, the easiest part was drilling out the rivets .... I have the
tool that fits over the shop head to center the drill. I use my
automatic center punch to snap the head off and then use it to punch the
tail through.
Linn ..... love my tools

Yes, that's the best method that I've ever been told in the
past also. I personally use a flat ended punch to snap
them off, although some people use the flat end of a drill
bit. It works well, because you're just snapping the head
of the rivet off. You can do it with a smaller sized bit,
too. It's been suggested before that people buy a #31 and
#41 bit, because then you can drill ever so slightly
undersized to the hole, so you don't hit the surrounding
metal if you're off center. Not much difference, but it's
nice. At OSH it might be worth poking around with the
vendors to get those bits.
