Post by: sparkysx on November 05, 2012, 11:36 PM: It certainly looks riveted on.

Post by: wildon on November 05, 2012, 11:58 PM: Yes it's riveted. You need to grind that one of, buy a front quick release from pork chop and have it pressed on. You'll need to change the adjuster for a front too.. If you want to do it properly that is
