I wonder what the method is for removing a rivnut without wallowing out the hole. Least tooling intensive way is a series of drill bits, starting small, and working up. When the inner part gets thin, it can be deformed and removed or pushed through. If you do it a lot, there are specialized cutters and fixtures to do it in fewer steps. See http://electricalequipment.tpub.com/...07-14_34_1.jpg For a bike, that would rely on having the frame tube open at the bottom (say, into the bottom bracket) so the body of the rivnut could be taken out. I wouldn't want one rattling around inside a frame tube as I rode. Most rivnuts are in either the down tube or the seat tube and generally these two tubes are open ended at the bottom bracket so bits will simply fall down into the B.B. and can be removed. -- cheers, John B. |

I wonder what the method is for removing a rivnut without wallowing out the hole. -- Jay Beattie. It depends on the problem. If the rivnut is loose in the tube but still has threads you can either use the method in the reference above or the Park Tool method of a hub skewer and spacers and (hopefully) tighten it up enough to either use it as is or drill it out using graduated drill sizes as someone else suggested. One thing to be aware of is that there are a number of "anti-turn" rivnuts which will take a bit of fiddling to get out. A Demrel tool and some small bits is very handy :-) As an aside, a M5 rivnut is normally installed in a 7 mm round hole but if you bugger up the hole a bit you might be able to install a "hex shank", anti-turn rivnut which measures 7 mm across the flats or there are, I believe, over sized rivnuts intended to repair "buggered" holes. Also aluminum rivnuts are a bit larger - the hole size for a M5 aluminum rivnut is 7.5 mm hole. Lastly, rivnuts are not all created equally in that they come in different "grip lengths" and materials so some care should be taken in obtaining a replacement rivnut. -- cheers, John B. |

The basic idea is to keep the drill centered in the middle of the rivet or rivnut using the head as a guide. As long as the head is not mutilated, that should work. The rest is picking the correct size drill bit. You're on your own for figuring out how to remove what's left of the rivet and shavings from inside the frame. Ooooh! Aircraft tools!

The end of the collet has teeth which keep the head from spinning. https://www.aircraft-tool.com/shop/detail.aspx?PRODUCT_ID=1341S "The serrated nosepiece fits over any button head, round head, or universal head rivet and locks in place to keep it from spinning as it's being drilled out."
