    Cherrymax removal

    Have you tried drilling off a cherrymax rivet? And when its used in light structure hammering at it with a chisel distorts the surrounding structure. Normal procedure is to grind the lockring out. But just lately ive seen some very distructive grinding been done by so called experienced engineers.
