You need an air hammer with a bit that fits the head of the rivet and a hammer or something else solid to hold against the other end while you run the air hammer on the rounded end of the rivet. When using on the light aluminum on the tunnel or what ever go in short little burst with the air hammer because it will bend or dent the thin aluminum. Slow is the key until you get the hang of it.
