hey guys, so i was in the process of putting on my 6400 shackles and discovered that shackle mount has almost completely rusted through. I looked and saw that it is rivited to the frame. I dont have the means to torch it or whatever, nor do i want to. Wondering if anyone had a shop do theirs and how much they charged.

 

Would it be possible for you to drill the rivets out jacob? Just a thought. Then possibly weld the new one on. Like i said just an idea

 

you can do it with a grinder if you have one

 

i dont think u can drill them out because the head on them is circular and i don't have a grinder :(

 

Im not sure i understand... But like he said a grinder would work if you have access to one.

 

You can cut slits in them and use an air hammer to knock of the head of the rivet. Also you don't typically re-rivet the new shackle to the frame, instead you would simply bolt them together.
