sst- You are absolutely right! I just came from Lowe's. Took a couple of the toys in with me to show them what I was trying to do. The guy there was able to turn the rivet but it wouldn't spin up.... it just turns. He said "it's definitely not a screw. I think it's a rivet". I just got home and saw your post! You guys are just too smart. I figured somebody here would definitely have some ideas. Gonna go now and see what I can find on removing rivets. Thank you for your help!
