I feel your pain!!!

when I just put my new sway bar in and had to pop out some rivets, one of the rivets in a crossmember didn't want to come out. as I was bangin on it, the crossmember popped up and back so that I couldn't get to the rivet. I thought I was gonna have to pull the bloody motor!

but I finally winched it back into place but wow what a PITA!

I tied the air hammer aprotch

seems the best way was to gring the head off then heat the frame around the rivit with a tourtch and beat it out with a 3 pounder and a punch.

what a pain. literally. I now have a huge blood blister on the heal of my hand form the punch pulliung my hand in to the rivit hole. after that I held the punch with a pair of pliers.


and holy chit thiers abunch of holes in the frame rails. gona be alot of time welding them up.




but now im that mutch closer to my link and bags!
