Hi all. I am working on the rudder (-10), and for about the third time, I seem to be breaking the ball free from the shank. So, when I try to slide the tool back down for a second squeeze, the mandrel just moves with the tool. Then, the second squeeze has no resistance.
The first time was on the shear clip/stiffener, so I could see both ends of the rivet. I could see the ball moving away from the shank when I push the tool down on the manufactured head.
What am I doing wrong, and is there a way to avoid cutting the stem and drilling out?
