[QUOTE="surfman, post: 378571, member: 7404"] You don't need any fancy tools, two hammers will work just fine, if you cant reach the rivet get a friend to hold the other hammer. You only need to use the pop rivets if you cannot access the back side of the rivet and they make solid pop rivets for that, then it doesn't matter if it sticks up. one large hammer as an anvil and one regular hammer to flatten the shaft end. You can hammer pop rivets down flat too, I've done it but it ain't pretty. [/QUOTE]
