    1. Put a 4 mm (0.16 in.) drill bit into a drill.

      Tech Tips

      Tape the 4 mm (0.16 in.) drill bit to prevent the drill bit from going too deep.

    3. Lightly press the drill against the rivets, drill off the flanges of the rivets, and remove the 10 rivets.

      Note


      • Pressing the drill too firmly will cause the rivet to turn and result in the rivet not being drilled through.

      • Do not pry the rivets with the drill, because this may cause damage to the installation holes of the rivets or the drill bit.

      • Be careful of the drilled rivets as they may become hot.
