I have done a lot of rivet removing. The easiest and fastest way I have found is to center punch the head of the rivet, and then drill the head till you get near the frame. Pick a drill that's close to the size of the rivet shank. Once you eat most of that metal away with the drill bit, a chisel and a hammer will cut the head right off in one or two blows. Then the rivet shank will punch right out.
