Home made rivnut setting tool. First use a Dremel or such to grind the top off the loose nut in your frame. (The part that takes the time is getting the rest of the rivnut out of your frame - BB or fork removal.) Drill a 4mm hole in a piece of thin flatbar. Insert the new rivnut into the hole in your frame - the same size as the one you removed (usually one taking a 4mm bolt) using a high tensile or stainless bolt - preferably with a hex nut head, tighten the rivnut with the bolt going through the flatbar. You use the flatbar to keep enough tension on the rivnut to stop it rotating while you tighten. When the nut is "set" remove the bolt and away you go.
