This is embarrassing.
I am stuck. Literally. See pictures - this is an A6 pop rivet. It won't budge, in or out.
Access from the back is rather difficult, as the rear and front rib are already riveted. The A6 is one of the two last rivets in this station.
I can remove the rear rib, but that's my last option - and I still will have a stuck A6 after I remove the rear rib.
Suggestions?

Hi Carlos,
The only idea I have is to use a dremel cutoff wheel to cut the
middle of the rivet. Then either pliers or drill it out.

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> Hi Carlos,
I would try to drive the center mandril out through the rivet, pull it through with pliers or use a small punch to get it out. Then you should be able to drill the rivet out or maybe twist it out with pliers. Just a thought.
Good luck

I use a spring loaded center punch to drive the rivet stub out. Lot less pressure than driving out with a hammer & punch .

Carlos,
Glad you got it unstuck. Maybe I'm not up on the latest info from Zenith, but I think that should be a solid rivet. The drawings I have dated Dec 9 state "INSTALL EXTRUSION WITH SOLID RIVETS, SAME DIAMETER AS ORIGINAL HOLE IN EACH LOCATION", and gives part numbers:
MS20470AD-6-15 and MS20470AD-5-10.

Dan, this is a 601-HD - you might be thinking 601-XL...?
The A6 are used to hold four L angles against the centre wing spar.
These L angles reinforce the attachment of four nose ribs to the spar at the landing gear stations.
Here's a close up, bottom right in this picture:

In this picture, you can see the ribs in question: the two outer ones, on each side. Four ribs, 2 rivets on each one.

BTW, the pictures are from Don Honabach's project.
