how to knock off frame rivets?

okay before you answer, i must say: I do not have a die grinder, an angle grinder, a torch or a sawzall. with that in mind, i need to know the easiest possible way to quickly remove the frame rivets or whatever those stupid rounded things are that hold in crossmembers. I have a manual xmember i need to remove and part of it is in an awkward position under the tranny hump, so an angle grinder won't fit in there.

is there like ... a pnuematic rivet buster or something I can use to shear them off that i might could rent from Home Depot or something?

look forward to hearing opinions. I got lots of chisels, but i'm afraid with one or two of these i'd risk denting my body.
