wont be hard to figure out, just start off small and keep going up in size.

Would it be easier to line up a drill bit size to the new rivets that they supplied to me

You still have done this yet? This is what I am talking about, line the drill bit up, which ever one looks right choose a size smaller (the tighter the fit the better). If the first hole is small use the next size bit to make the hole bigger. If your scared to dig into a project mabye you should just get it installed by someone, but this is really basic stuff.

Nothing bigger than 1/4" drill bit as that is as close to the hole in non metric size.
All you have to do is drill the head of the pop rivit off not drill all the way thru,Does it come with new rivits or does it bolt on?
That is how I got mine off when I replaced my door (I used bolts) was cheaper than a pop rivit gun big enough for the rivits.

I usually use a 1/8" drill bit to drill out rivets.
