Wind tape around the drill bit approximately 5 mm (0.197 in.) from the tip of the drill, as shown in the illustration.
- HINT:
- Tape the 4 mm (0.157 in.) drill bit to prevent the drill bit from going too deep.
Lightly press the drill against the 2 rivets, drill off the flanges of the 2 rivets, and remove the rear step panel.
- NOTICE:
- Pressing the drill too firmly will cause the rivet to turn and result in the rivet not being drilled through.
- Do not pry the rivet with the drill, because this may cause damage to the installation holes of the rivet or the drill bit.
