A comment was made about finding the diameter of the rivet to remove it; this of course is correct. You must first determine the diameter of the rivet before you can remove it.

Cherry Max rivets are removed in a similar manner but require a slightly different approach. The locking collar must be removed first. A drill slightly larger than the diameter of the collar is used to cut out the collar then the drill size is reduced to match the diameter of the ri et.

Grind off cherry collars ... them use a punch that is. 030" smaller to drive out the rest.
