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.

Be careful of the drilled rivet as it may become hot.
Using a vacuum cleaner, remove the rivet fragments and shavings from the drilled area.
