Tooling source notes
- Repair access is the edge case that bites: you can't strip the surrounding structure during a repair, and some jobs need 90° drills and heads. Know the tool envelope during design.Installer interview (aerospace tool services), 2026-09-25. Field experience, not a specification.
Removal (drill-out)Published procedure
Cherry CA-1005 (CherryLOCK catalog, covers wiredraw NAS1398/NAS1399), Rivet Removal
- “In thick material remove the lock by driving out the rivet stem, using a pin punch.” Cherry CA-1005 (CherryLOCK), p.25, Rivet Removal ↗
- “If the rivets have been installed in thin sheets, driving out the locked stem may damage the sheets. It is recommended that the stem be center punched first and a small center drill be used to provide a guide for a larger drill on top of the rivet stem. The larger drill can then be used to drill away the lock. Finally, use a pin punch to drive out the stem.” Cherry CA-1005 (CherryLOCK), p.25, Rivet Removal ↗
- “Drill nearly through the head of the rivet, using a drill the same size as the rivet shank. Do not drill completely through rivet head.” Cherry CA-1005 (CherryLOCK), p.25, Rivet Removal ↗
- “Break off rivet head, using a pin punch as a pry.” Cherry CA-1005 (CherryLOCK), p.25, Rivet Removal ↗
- “Drive out the remaining rivet shank with a pin punch having a diameter equal to the rivet shank.” Cherry CA-1005 (CherryLOCK), p.25, Rivet Removal ↗
Cautions
- “CAUTION: Never drill completely through the rivet sleeve to remove a rivet as this will tend to enlarge the hole.” Cherry CA-1005 (CherryLOCK), p.25, Rivet Removal ↗
None of the removal procedures on file gives a composite-specific removal caution. The Monogram specs address composite at the hole instead: holes "reasonably round and free from burrs (metallic structure) and delamination (graphite/epoxy type structure)" (MBF2003 §5.1).
Tool tables are the manufacturer's as published in the cited revision; confirm current tool PNs with the manufacturer or distributor before purchase. Not a certified process authority: install and remove per the OEM process specification.
