I am helping someone with suspension in a Ford truck right now and we had to cut some heads off of rivets to get a hanger off the frame. We now need to get the rest of the rivets out of the frame and hitting them doesn't seem to work. Any ideas from anyone. Do you think heating them up with a torch and then hammering on them would work? I know it's not a Honda, but though someone might have an idea.

 

Usa a small drill bit and drill them. The head will break off and the rivet will come right out. Done it this way many times with no problems.

 

DO NOT USE HEAT!

You could use strength in the frame rail steel. Use a drill as recommended in the prior post.

or a small grinding tool will work in a pinch but the drill bit will be easier
