Removing Rocker panels, actually how to re-install Options

[jr91472]

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.

I have had to take my rockers off 5 or 6 times per side and I’ve found that the bigger aluminum rivets actually look pretty cool when contrasted with the black (especially if you have aluminum thresholds) they’re also real easy to drill out. the only tricky part is inserting the rivet without chipping the paint underneath (it's a great little spot for water to pool up and start rust around the rivets). So I solved this by cutting some RC car fuel line into little washers that fit onto the rivet. This allows the rivet to break properly without chipping your paint in the process. it actually compresses the rubber fuel line to the point where it becomes a gasket that seals the hole and looks like a clear rubber washer.

can post picts later.
