kinda stumped... ideas??
I got my frame powder coated and left a rivet and bracket for the lower control arms on the frame......... now when i went to install the lower control arms, i noticed that somebody put the locating rivet in from the bottom instead of the top....... so the oval head wont fit into the lower control arm locating holes..... how do i go about extracting the rivet without damaging the powder coating so i can reinstall it from the top?

That is why I prefer paint to powder coat. Powder coat can not be touched up like paint can. The simple answer is you can not remove the rivet without damaging the powder coat.

I did several areas on my chassis & you'd be hard pressed to tell where repairs were done.

I left that lower control arm bracket on when i sent it off not knowing the rivet was in upside down. It was like that.
