Difficult rivets on F821PP skin

FuselageI've got to find a solution to getting rivets in these two places. The problem is that the engine mount is almost touching the hole. I can't even get a pop rivet in there. I'm thinking about removing the engine to squeeze this, and then re-installing the engine. I could probably just slide the engine off about an inch or so, and get a bucking bar behind it.

Another suggestion I've had was to use the engine mount as the bucking bar. That might have worked, but the engine mount there is not straight. Also, not enough room to get an unsqueeded rivet into the hole!

The reason these are important is because they are right at the corner of the F821PP top skin.
