Ok, that must be the solution then. I went out and bought a Stanley air hammer tonight (not the best quality, I know only 2400 spm), got the chisel bit out, sharpened it to a point like this > , set to 90psi on the compressor per the tool instructions, wailed away at a top rivet and the compressor filled up 5 times over 15 minutes and ¼ of the damned rivet is still there. I'm damned near deaf.

I'm heading to mexico in the next 36 hours, so I guess it's gonna hafta wait. :\ Really wanted to get this bastard xmember out, but ... arrgghhh.
