Figure 4-14. Removal of Cherrylock Rivet
4-71.R E M O VAL OF CHERRYLOCK RIVETS. Should it be necessary to remove an installed cherrylock
rivet, the following procedures are recommended.
a. In thick material remove the lock by driving out the rivet stem, using a tapered steel drift pin (See
View 1.)
NOTE
Do not drill completely through the rivet sleeve to remove a rivet as this will
tend to enlarge the hole.
b. If the rivets have been installed in thin sheets, driving out the locked stem may damage the sheets. It is
recommended that a small center drill be used to provide a guide for a larger drill on top of the rivet
stem, and the tapered portion of the stem be drilled away to destroy the lock. (See Views 2 and 3).
c. Pry the remainder of the locking collar out of the rivet head with the drift pin (See View 3).
d. Drill nearly through the head of the rivet, using a drill the same size as the rivet shank. (See View 4).
e. Break off rivet head, using a drift pin as a pry (See View 5).
f. Drive out the remaining rivet shank with a pin having a diameter equal to the rivet shank. (See View
6).
