You had, I COULD NOT get the rivet to hold, and tightening it down so much I eventually sheared the bolt off so the rivet was just stuck there with half a bolt in it but not loose. (I used my floor jack like others have suggested).
I talked to me indie and he had done fabrication work in the past, so I brought it out to him and in 1.5 hours including getting the car on and off the lift, he had extracted the old rivet and welded the new rivet in place. Saved a lot of hassle, charged me $75 but I gave him $100 because I was happy to have it solved correctly and quickly.
I have a 2000 Viggen and only needed to use 1 rivet, the short bar with the nut on it should slide into the frame on the drivers side, from the middle of the car. Not sure if the older 900's had this opening in the subframe or not. (not sure what car you have).
Not sure what welding technique was used, but he hooked a ground clamp on, and his welder fed a strand of metal through the welding tip. The piece welded into place was a rivet from the kit, non compressed.
Good luck!
Jon
