Here is a picture of the completed job.

I bought the rivet and a rivet tool from McMaster-Carr. I also made a platform to support the wheel so I could work on it. The rivets I bought were 3/16 inch and they went in pretty well. Now they are off to Stockton wheel.

If I were to do it over again I would probably try 1/4 inch rivets. The 3/16 rivets were smaller than the hole and made it tough to peen the back side over.

I think this was one the easiest jobs I have done in a while on the truck.
