Tip: Nutplate Bucking Bar

David Paule

Well Known Member
I needed something that would get in and let me buck the rivets on a nutplate that was in tight quarters recently. I looked around my shop for something and found a gear puller that I've had for a long time.

I had to dress the end but it did the job. Kind of light but adequate for this K1100-08 nutplate.

It's a Snap-On CJ66-1 and it's not on their site any more.

Although I think it would probably buck both rivets at the same time, I bucked the more accessible one with my usual bucking bar and used this for the one that was more difficult.
