Need help

Mine didn’t have a tag so I can’t help.
I assume you want to take it off without damaging it - then put it back on?

Aren’t they riveted in place? Normally to remove a rivet, you drill out the center. Start with a small drill bit & work your way up.

Yes…still says nathan airchime on tag and i dont want it to come off when they blast them…

Its not really a rivet Its more like a small nail but they use alot of pressure to keep it in there

I think there called blind rivets drill them off them source some more ebay etc

Still seeking help

Maybe post a pic? Mine doesn’t have a tag so I’m not sure what it looks like. Most likely though drilling the rivet out will be your only option
