Step 1: Gather the Necessary Tools

Before starting, make sure you have the following tools available:

• Power drill
• Rivet nut removal tool (specific to your rivet nut size)
• Adjustable wrench or socket set

Step 2: Prepare the Work Area

Find a suitable workspace and secure the workpiece using clamps or a vise. This will provide stability
during the removal process.

Step 3: Identify the Rivet Nut

Locate the rivet nut you want to remove. Inspect it to determine its size and material.

Step 4: Choose the Proper Rivet Nut Removal Tool

Select the correct rivet nut removal tool based on the size and type of rivet nut you are working with.
This tool will help break the grip of the rivet nut for easy removal.

Step 5: Attach the Removal Tool

Attach the appropriate removal tool to your power drill. Ensure it is secure and aligned properly.

Step 6: Remove the Rivet Nut

Slowly and steadily, drill into the top surface of the rivet nut using the removal tool. Apply consistent
pressure until you feel the rivet nut loosen.

Step 7: Unscrew the Rivet Nut

Once the rivet nut is loosened, switch to an adjustable wrench or socket set. Grip the rivet nut tightly
and turn it counterclockwise to unscrew it from the workpiece completely.

Step 8: Clean the Area

After removing the rivet nut, clean the area with a brush or compressed air to remove any debris or
residue left behind.
