You need to drill the rivets out to remove the old gasket. There is no need to reinstall the rivets on the new gasket, they are there for assembly line purposes only. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Actually I think there are 4 rivets. When you go to re-install, be sure to put a dab of sealant at the timing chain cover corners, torque properly and you're good to go!
