I'd drill pilot holes drill a 2nd hole larger,and 3rd larger yet I'd want the holes deep and big O.D. then use a narrow punch with the control arm supported on something solid ,a piece of pipe,etc. use as smaller O.D. punch . This gives the metal of the rivet room to displace to the inside and weakens its structure,also by drilling deep and punching with a narrow punch the metal can stretch and thin. Imagine pulling on braided rope VS pushing on braided rope. If you are driving the rivet from the top and it's stuck bellow, each hammer blow is a momentary compression and expansion. If you are driving from deep in the hole it's a pull and stretch. It's not bull ****. Glad you got it done. Your finished pics weren't up when I started writing this. Last post was @idahovette with the insurance comment. Glad you got it done.

Good stuff @Ricko1966 I’m just thankful today was successful and the job is now complete. Has made for a pretty relaxing night.

Looking forward to putting some miles on her again as I continue to pick away at her
