    Giving this a bump to let everyone know I found another way to remove the elbow rivet. It takes a little bit longer but you can just use a long round metal file. I know in the repair kits that Cotswolds sells it says to use a pair of wire cutters and if they don't fit,file them down. Then I thought "why not just file the elbow rivet ?"

      To be honest I have never been happy cutting the elbow rivet. I have removed rivet and just put it back. I have also used original Gijoe pegs cut a small narrow V slit and put onto existing rivet
