Rivet Replacement

NOTE: Rivets that are removed will be replaced with the next larger size bolts.
CAUTION: Drill only where a rivet was removed.
  1. Drill a bolt hole in the support and the frame.
    • Line drill a hole the size of the bolt through the old rivet hole. For example, use a 1/2-inch drill for 7/16 diameter rivets.
  2. Position the support.
  3. Insert the bolts, nuts and washers (Property Class 9.8 metric [Grade 8]) in the drilled holes.
  4. Tighten the bolts.
