you have to drill the rivets out and then drill some other holes out and the new mounts come with nuts and bolts to put back together. I would recommend loctite on the new bolts

A set of mounts will come with instructions on exactly what to do. I just opened up my stock clamshells tonight with a set of Prothanes to go back in, and I was actually surprised at how easy it was to drill out the rivets and then split the clamshells. Maybe I was just lucky, but mine split right open and the mounts just fell out. You use a 3/8 drill bit to drill out the rivets, and the mounts come with the hardware to reassemble everything.
