Title: BEST TOOL TO REMOVE WSM RIVETS
Post by: tibas92017 on May 15, 2020, 06:36:07 AM

I need to remove the Rivets holding the four(4) Daisy Wheels on my 2008 WSM "Classic", so, what is the best tool without using an electric drill which is not included in my BBQ Arsenal? I am a Costa Rican Apartment dweller who relies on our handyman when problems arise that need fixing and I may use him in this cause.

I see!   Another possible way to remove rivet is to use end cutter plier from inside where rivet is held on.

Have look at this thread. It might help you out.  https://weberkettleclub.com/forums/index.php?topic=45420.0
