metdr0id on January 24, 2024 6:30 pm Looks like it’s riveted. You can drill them out, but common practice is to replace the crankset as reassembly isn’t as simple as a crankset with chainring bolts.
strengr on January 24, 2024 6:40 pm that’s a one piece triple crank from a take-off I’d imagine. No you do not undo the chainrings like other cranksets with spiders and rings. As u/metdr0id has said, you can drill them out and rip them apart but getting it back together and securely fastened is another matter.

You don’t.
That’s essentially a one-piece unit.

It’s effectively disposable.
Those are rivets my friend.
