Dad worked at the JD dealer for a long time and if in the field he would find a solid straight edge he could lay the metal bar of the sickle on and then take a hammer and hit the back of the knife section. This would shear off the rivets and then you had to punch out the remaining piece. If you do them this way you do run the risk of bending the metal bar that the sections attach to but I have seen him do it and done it myself. I now run all bolt on sections because they are so much easier to replace if you happen to break one. As far as replacing the rivets he always said that the important thing was to hit straight down on the rivet to swell it along its entire lenght and fill up the hole. If you did this then the sections stay tight and rivets last longer. Hope this helps.
