So I managed to do this...
and I am needing some advice on a good technique to get it out. I have no idea where the center is as I mushed it with the squeezer pretty good.
Additionally I had two ribs push out.
This one I already drilled out the rivet. You can see the flange is pushing away from the rear spar. I could use a good technique to sit these flat on the rear spar. If I get a clamp in I don't have enough room for a bucking bar or squeezer head. This is a countersunk rivet so it has to be put in this way.
Here is the other rib that got pushed out. I couldn't get access to squeeze or buck these so the shop head would be on the spar.
Thanks as always for the help
