My mistake, I forgot that those were solid rivets that were staked with a chisel. But after watching the video bartamos posted, it all came back to me. wink Just two whacks with a hammer and chisel does the trick. I didn't worry about crunching it in a vice. A correctly sharpened cold chisel expands the rivet nicely. Make sure the rivet is seated all the way in before staking.
