How to remove a tilted garage door?

[dominover]

I'm going to try to bend a tilta-door (for the garage) straight again.  I am considering pulling it off first.

In order for me to do this I have one obstacle and it's this one connector that looks like a rivet.  It has a rounded head on one side and it looks like it's been riveted onto a washer on the side of the photo.  Any clues how I can get this off - or is this a one use thing that needs to be cut off?

Hi @dominover 

If you can't access the other side to see how it's fixed, then I wouldn't one cutting it off. Doing so will mean you have no way to re-fix it or any form of replacement. I would also be concerned about what load is on it once cut which could be quite dangerous.

If the door has to come off for the repair, I would get a garage door repairer to take it off so you can do the work. Based on how it comes off, you can then see how if possible to refit the door yourself.
