Need to replace some of the edging and hardware but don't know how to remove all of the rivets (tacks) holding them in. Any ideas/suggestions on how to do this? Anything helps, thanks.

Have you researched this at all? Is it of concern?

You can put it into an electric drill in a vise to do this. The wire wheel will buff and remove rust at the same time.
