You pull them off, quite tricky. I'd say they break once in about 5

Good tip there!
I've not had one break for a while, but they can do, so be careful!

Flywheel should be a tight fit or screwed. You can unscrew the front wheels be turning them... that's about as far as you can go

Yes, yes and probably another yes
I wouldn't drill the rivets though, not worth it
