I guess they can be hammered if you're skilled at it, but I think that
he's referring to the head of the rivet, which looks "smashed" by the
brake rivet tool.


I personally have two different types of rivet installing tools. One is
used by striking a "punch-like" tool, while the other is similar to a
C-clamp and squeezes the rivet as you turn the handle. The squeezing tool
is much easier to use and yields far more consistent results.

In my case, the linings were tight, but the rivets didn't look like the
factory ones, so I wasn't sure whether I was missing something.


Sounds like your probably OK.
