I need to replace a leaf spring bracket for the front of my right side leaf spring. It is riveted to the frame with large rivets. It looks like grinding the head off of the rivets is the best way to remove the bracket. I considered drilling them out, but there is a risk of damaging the frame hole if I don't drill perfectly centered. Does anyone have any tricks that would make it easier to remove the bracket?
