Ok, help.... I'm getting mad.

[8LEGS]

My hindle developed the rattle in North Carolina. Since then it is getting worse. I was told to "drill" out the rivet and replace with hex bolts. Here is the problem ---- I have broken 2 drill bits trying to remove the rivet. I'm at a loss. Now the rivet is looser, noisier, and I have no idea how to get it out. No one here to help so I'm on my own. Any ideas?????

I would take a Dremel tool to it and cut the heads off if it were me. You might even be able to use side cutters as high as that's sitting now.

With that much of it sticking out, I'd tape up the shield, cut off the rivet with a hacksaw, and punch it through. As an alternative, you could protect the shield and try to pry it out with a pair of sidecutters.

Oh yeah...the right cuss words always help.

:agree:

Thanks guys, I'll try both ideas!

No luck finding his dremel. I taped the shield and found a saw "scary huh" LOL. Got it loose enough and got mad --- just grabbed pliers and pulled it out. Need to get the other two out, but since my tools are limited, it looks like a trip to Sears. I put a bolt in where I removed the rivet. Just a temporary fix until I get what I need, however it seems to be holding well and best of all ---- no more rattle.

That's true, I could have you fix it, but I'll never learn how to do things if I don't even try

It's a little late to save the first one but on the others try Loctite Super Glue. Not the gel type. I've used it on all the Hindle's formerly loose, rattling rivets with super success. They are tight and totally quiet. Fixin them took 10 seconds each and involved zero cuss words. Sorry you're having such difficulties.

She tried that--- didn't work.

Sorry I missed that. With the success I had I'm thinkin enough wasn't applied.

For tools that get limited use, I often use Harbor Freight. They have all sorts of Dremel knock offs packed in many different accessory kits.

Limited as in tools from Harbor Freight usually only work once.... ;-).

Sounds like operator error, but keep practicing...
