[QUOTE="Brine, post: 174334, member: 1053"] As an FYI, I was forwarned (by bassboy as I recall) about making sure that if you use a cutoff tool, to make sure the cutter is designed to cut aluminum and that most big-box retailers don't sell it. Apparently it presents a safety issue with the potential of creating shrapnel from the tool. Gladly, I don't have first hand experience. I would drill out the rivets instead of trying to hammer them out. To me, it would seem to make the most sense to remove the piece entirely, cut it, and reattach it with rivets or bolts. [/QUOTE]
