hi all
I hope this makes sense. What I found to work is after pulling the rivnet. I use a piece of angle iron (about 1ft long) with a hole drilled in the end same dia as the bolt. Then put a longer bolt thru the hole. place a lock washer (the multi grip type not the spring type) on bolt between the angle iron and the rivnut. Screw the bolt into the rivnut, as the rivnut starts to spin pull back on the angle iron Thus the lock washer prevents the rivnut from spinning. Now you can carry on tightening the bolt deforming the back giving a much tighter fit than the rivnut puller alone can do. then undo the bolt and fit the correct size bolt.
hope this helps all the best
