      Note

      Tape the 4.0 mm (0.157 in.) drill bit to prevent the drill bit from going too deep.

    3. Lightly press the drill against the rivets to drill off the rivet flanges, and remove the 7 rivets.

      Note


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

      • Prying the rivets with the drill may damage the rivet installation holes or drill bit.

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

    4. Using a vacuum cleaner, remove the rivet fragments and shavings from the drilled areas.
