Removing Replacement Stay-Put Cradle on Bike Rack that Has Rivets
Updated 06/19/2023 | Published 06/17/2023
Question:
I purchased two replacement cradles last week and have watched your videos on replacing them. The guy in the video says to use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the end cap. Where he shows a screw should be on the underside of the cap, there is just a round hole, like a rivet, and a thin Phillips screwdriver just goes straight up through the hole, no screw to unscrew. How do I remove the cap, and then attach it back if it is riveted?

Expert Reply:
At one point the The arms had end caps that were held on with rivets which would need to be drilled out to remove. You'd need a rivet gun with correct size rivet to remove and install the # 853-7887 that you have.
