If you want to remove the rivets the acid dip is the best way to go.  A 
friend did the acid bath and replaced the rivets with stainless steel 
bolts... tower specs improved significantly as per a PE that ran the 
numbers. But its a lot of work to re-assemble the entire tower from scratch, 
haha.  Don't recommended unless you live in Alaska and have long winter 
nights to work on such projects ;-)
