My stripped bare aluminum Lonestar Malibu was covered with a tarp on my driveway and got caught by some wind and flipped on it side with the trailer still attached.

Luckily the only damage is three broken rivets.

I know for solid rivets the tool that is used underneath is called a bucking bar.

What do you call the tool that goes in your air hammer?

I'm having trouble surfing for one...

A chisel. Can you drill them out? May be easier.

OH, you meant for putting 'em back IN. Sorry, I misconscrewed it. Bob's got it right.
