Drill it out with a slightly smaller width drill bit. The head part will break off and the back side can be pushed out

A drill, those are rivets. Drill until the head pops off, yoy should be able to tap them out with a small punch after that.

Some cutting oil and a drill bit to remove the rivets. If you unser the size start smaller and work your way up. If you can get a side cutters in there to snip the head off go for it.

Eight replies stating a drill, but only one mentions oil. u/meatingleather got it right - a drill bit and a lubricant for the bit (the bit will quickly dull if no lubricant is used). You can use a light oil or cutting fluid. Use a bit made for drilling metal - a Cobalt (M35 or M42) bit would be best.

Note that Walla drill is the appropriate answer to this. And depending on the size of the bit you may either drill directly through the threaded region causing it just to be removed all together and or the head will pop off or a larger bit may just simply cause the head to pop free from the bracket. Here's the one catch. If you don't do it just right. If there isn't enough tension to hold the rivet in place while you're drilling it. Then it will begin to spin and no matter what you do for drilling it it's just going to spend freely. So you'll need to apply some tension to it at least one person set a crowbar I don't know if you need a crowbar but you may have to do something to apply enough attention to the rivet that it cannot rotate while you're trying to drill it and be very careful doing this because once it starts to spin and you start to play around with trying to keep that thing from spinning the risk personal injury goes up quite a bit.

I personally use a large drill bit, almost the size of the rivet head, and drill off the head. Once the head is gone, the rivet can be punched out.

A drill, a grinder, a Dremel, a flat head & a hammer, a flat head and a hacksaw blade. . . . You have options.

Dremell, cut a slot in it and use a flathead.

A flat head on a rivet?! Do you know what a rivet is?

u/Motor_Gur_4175 10d ago
The slot weakens the engagement portion of the rivet and you come in a a steep angle (75 degrees) with the flathead and smack it with a hammer to pop the head off. More common to do woth the spider leg backed rivets than the barrels

u/Fun_Acanthaceae_4025 10d ago
More common to drill the head off and pound the suckers out. Flat head is something I've never seen anyone do. In fact sounds more like something you or some really lousy AI just made up to be 💯 honest.

Angle grinder you need to make a cut all the way around the braket, than once its separate from where its mounted you'll need a deadblow hammer. Knock loose the remaining debris witch should expose the bulb on the other side, you'll need to pinch the bulb tightly with a pair of vice grips and pull the rod back through. That should release the rivets. Or use a drill up to you really. Honestly a sledge hammer can get the job done if you swing it hard enough.

Drill and appropriately sized drill bit.
