i need to replace the ball joints on my blazer, the ones that are on it are factory, so they have rivets holding them in, any suggestions on how to remove the rivets?? Thanks

 

Use a grinder to grind them off. The new ones bolt in.

 

ok, thanks Rottidog

 

When I ground the ones off my drivers side all I saw was shinny metal and could not find were to line up a punch. Even when I stuck a chisel in-between could not locate the rivets. Turned into a real bear. The other side went by the book and drilled-real smooth. Just my crappy luck I guess. It's up to you.
