I have found the best way to remove the plastic rivets is a small punch and hammer to knock the center pin out. Prying, side cutters or drilling all seem to mark up the plastic fender trim.
I always did it from the top it’s a little more work. I guess but no tire to remove. Both batteries takes me about 15minutes. Just cover cable ends and be gentle with PDC
Hey, i have a question for you, do you miss your C5 Corvette as much as I do? I sold mine about a year after you sold yours. I really wish now i would have kept it. It was an 03 with 14,000 actual miles. I still enjoy you videos. Have a good weekend.
I do. Ironically I look at C5 prices now and I'd jump on a C5 built like mine was for the price I sold it, haha. Though I suppose if money were no object, I'd keep basically every vehicle I've owned.
You can buy an inexpensive plastic pop rivet kit with correct size rivets at Harbor Freight. Thanks for video.
Funny you mention that, I was at HF yesterday and happened to see their plastic rivet kit. Didn’t realize they carried one. Good tip. 👍
Thank you! Much easier than I thought, Great video!
Agree, wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it was going to be. Thanks for watching.

I started watching Scrufs garage because of my C5 vette... Lots of upgrades etc... I still enjoy watching the channel still...
Thanks Jim, I've always appreciated the support!

Why not remove from the top? Is there a lot more involved doing it that way?
Yes, the main battery has to be removed and the fuse box as well I believe.
