Rivet removal tip when replacing HP-41 flex-PCB

[AndiGer]

When replacing the HP-41 flex-PCB with one of Diego's replacements it is hard to remove the rivets between the flanges using an exacto knive.
I find it handy to use a carving tool with the blade on the front side. Named "small mouth"

There are similar blades for XActo knives as well.
