A livery cab opted to turn left into my right footpeg. It did not knock me over so I did not stop. A quarter mile later my footpeg fell off. So along with the rearset it was a good time for overdue maintenance (mudder replacement, Heim joint replacement, rear tire rim leak and brakes).
But have hit a couple snags: 1.Two of the mudder rivnuts bad. Anyone have luck installing without the tool

Tried penetrating oil, tried heat, tried pressing out and tried hammering. Are the two attachment holes in swingarm threaded too? My only idea is to have at it with the angle grinder and drill out any itty bits. Is there a better way? Ducati diagram lists a bushing which I do not have. Is there a generic source?
BTW, had an older rearset welded. It looks pretty good but we shall see.
