LA Rear Rim

[Mark_in_In]

I have to replace one of the rear rims on my John Deere LA.
What is the easiest way to remove the brackets and rivets and
reinstall them on a new rim?
I tried grinding on them a little, then heating and beating and no
success. maybe i wasn't holding my mouth right.

i also attached a link to photos of it.

thx

I ground the part of the old rivets off at the rim then used a punch to remove the old rivets. Everything came apart pretty easy for me. I ended up buying a good used rim from Rusty Acres Ranch. Much easier than trying to make those brackets line up on a new blank rim and the cost wasn't much more in the long run. Needless to say I have 4 brackets in a box if you need any!
