Hi,

There is a special tool to remove the lens from the hood, which makes removal easy. However it can be done, with out the tool if you are careful.

The rivets you should drill out from the back. Use a bit that is the same size as the new rivets. The rivets they give with the kit have heads that are bigger than original, carefully sand them to the size of the original. When pounding the back of the new rivet, be very gentle, & be sure you have the head on a solid object. Like a punch, clamped in a vise.

If you are careful, the new ones will look just like original EXCEPT the word "cat eye" will be missing.
