I agree, I would never do that to my Dremel. I don't believe they make any
attachments to really do that job. An angle grinder seems to work best. Biff

drilled mine out and used a punch to knock them through. I've done another
set where I had an angle grinder and ground the heads off. The grinder
worked much faster.

> I need to replace the upper ball joints on my 1999 4WD Dakota. I purchased
a pair of Moog ball joints to have a local shop install them. I'm starting
to have second thoughts and thinking about doing it myself. It doesn't
appear to be that difficult a job aside from removing the rivets on the old
ones.

cut the heads off? Besides the rivets is there anything else difficult in
the process or anything I should be aware of? Thanks for any help.
