My rockers are looking pretty tired. So I am planning to remove, strip, and re-paint.

They are currently on with rivets which I assume I can simply drill out. Correct?

But how to I re-install? Never done any riveting. Is it hard? Can you buy a cheap revit gun? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) Or, is there a better alternative.

I am a little lost here, so any suggestions / directions would be appreciated.

thx (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif)

Haynes: Installation is the reverse of removal procedure  :lol2:

Funny guy Aaron. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Just drill out the rivets and remove the screws along the bottom and the ones at each wheel well. I'm going to use stainless shallow pan head screws to hold the top of mine on so they will be easily removed for routine cleaning.
