Hi Jarrod, your best bet is to drill out the rivets and remove the endcap, that way you get all the old lagging out, ( presuming theres some in there ), it may seem a bit drastic and scary but take your time and it should go well, i have done this several times with no problem, if you accidently make the holes a bit larger, use the next size rivets on assembly.
