How do I remove flat rivets? Here’s a picture of what I mean.
Hello @Bethling
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about removing blind rivets.
I propose either grinding the back of the rivet with a grinding tool or cutting it with a multitool from the side.
Let me call on our experienced members @Dave-1 and @Nailbag for their suggestions.
Please remember to wear personal protections such as gloves, goggles and a mask when working on your project.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi @Bethling you can use a HSS drill bit the size of the inner sleeve as per the image attached to drill the rivet out.
