Now the fun begins!

The instructions say to be careful with the bucking bar here to not damage the upper skin. I decided to try and use my longeron yoke to squeeze the rivets and it worked perfectly, almost as if it was made for this application. I had to removed the lower dimple die from the hand squeezer to get the yoke over the edge. Once the yoke was in position, I put the dimple die back in and just kept the hand squeezer in position for the rest of the rivets.
