[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 393019, member: 13599"] Like Dale said - - - drill it out. also, some of the more smaller and softer rivets can be easily knocked off with a regular (sharp) carpenters chisel and hammer. [ATTACH type="full" alt="chisel.jpg"]77742._xfImport[/ATTACH] but, with my short patience level, and when the rivet starts to spin in the hole, I resort to the little more aggressive methods. But seriously, I did the same as you . . . over a hundred 1/4" rivets. the 4" angle grinder worked the best and quickest with the thin 1/16" cut-off blade. After a few cuts, you figure out how not to scar the boat hull up too bad LOL. . [/QUOTE]
