Erik,
They are riveted at both ends. Early cars (1500s) had a pin was not peened,
but rather was drilled and had a cotter pin stuck through it. A much better
idea imho. What you can do is to file down the swaging on the bottom of the
rivet (a Dremel tool works GREAT here) and then pop it out. Save the rivet
though. Go find a common nail that has the same shank diameter, cut it a
little long (3/16" or so) and drill a small hole in it. When you reassemble
the car, use these nail bits with tiny cotter pins and all will work fine.
