hi..start with a small drill bit, 2mm or 3mm or similar,and drill very carefully into center of rivet..don't press too hard or you'll snap drill bit..! you may need to go up sizes in drill bit until ,as you're drilling, the center of rivet will come away and it can be removed...

take your time and don't go mad with drill cos you don't wanna scratch that new can..

! only takes a couple of mins..rgds stu
p.s.hope thats a help chris..if not, pm me your fone no and i'll try and explain it better over the fone..
