I got my clutch rivets in and haven't really found the best resources to show how you change them. Has anyone done a tutorial that I can follow? I have 13.9 and 17.2 steel rivets to remove and resetting 17.2 in all holes.
 

Grind the wider side of the rivet off careful not to grind the weight, they should fall out. Put new ones in and beat with a ball pean hammer
 
I drill mine with a small drill bit for the center and then a larger one for the head. Not all the way to the weight. Then just punch it out. Rest weight in the jaws of a vise with towels to not mark the weight. Had good luck this way. Then like above beat with hammer.
