How do you remove the rivets on Tuff 2  and what do you use to refit hubs

drill out the unrivetted end of the rivet (there are definitely posts on here explaining this in detail - came up a month or two ago)
I use M4 threaded stainless steel studding and M4 stainless steel nylock nuts on my rebuilds.

Don't remove the rivets if you don't have to!
I had a pair of yellows in neat bleach for about 6 days. Just plaster the metal bits in grease and they will be fine. If they go a bit blackish don't worry as it polishes out.
