Frame Maintenance - Rivet Replacement

FRAME MAINTENANCE - RIVET REPLACEMENT

NOTE: Rivets that are removed will be replaced with the next larger size bolts.

1. CAUTION: Drill only where a rivet was removed.

Drill a bolt hole in the support and the frame.
- Line drill a hole the size of the bolt through the old rivet hole (that is, for 11.1 mm [7/16 in] diameter rivets, use a 12.7 mm [1/2 in] drill).

2. Position the support.
3. Insert the bolts, nuts and washers (Property Class 9.8 metric [Grade 8]) in the drilled holes.
4. Tighten the bolts.
