[QUOTE="thill, post: 513733, member: 4972"] I hate when you install them, and then the rivnut just spins when trying to remove the bolt. ARRRGH!!!! With thicker materials, they work better, but I always GREASE any bolts I screw into Rivnuts. Otherwise, they lock up and you end up with worse problems. In the end, I generally use pop rivets. If I need to get into the space, I either drill them out or use a sharp chisel to pop the heads off, and then rivet them back on when I'm done. [/QUOTE]
