hey guys when i searched all i got was to drill out the rivets. How do you drill out the rivets for the door handles? do you do it from the inside or outside, and how exactly do you drill them out?

do it from the outside until the heads fall off. to make my life easier the next go around I used bolts with a nut and lockwasher on the back side to hold the new handles in.
 
If you go with new rivets, be careful! That rivet gun can kick like a mule and scratch and/or dent your door. You'll definitely need someone to hold the handle straight while you operate the gun, otherwise it'll be tough for it to come out perfect. Protect the surrounding aread when installing the new rivets.
