I've managed to put myself in a corner I can't get out of and I need some sage advice.
I pulled an LP4-3 in the middle of the stiffener on the left elevator that goes to the reinforcement plate on the trim tab. "Rivet the E-1008B Rib to the E-01410 Trim Access Reinforcement Doubler and E-01411 Reinforcement Doubler Brace as shown on Page 09-19 Figure 3."
The rivet was not fully in the hole even though I thought it was because I was using a piece of angle to pull the rivet off center in the tight fit. In hindsight I might have should have used an AN470 instead because I could have gotten to it easy enough.
Outboard side:
Inboard side:
Can someone give me some good idea for getting this out? I just can't manage to get a drill started on either side. Because I used angle to get the puller head to the rivet the mandrel was left 1/8" long - I managed to grind that off. I suppose I could try and grind it out the rest but the stiffener has a little rolled flange to it that might suffer.
