If you choose this option, make sure that the entire rivet is not removed, lest it makes it difficult to reinstall.
Now, to install the front tire of your bike, it is important not to damage the front brake pads. If the bike has a quick-release mechanism, use it to open the brake further.

The last step is to tighten the two axle nuts slowly until if holds the new tire or wheel strongly in its proper place. Also, a washer on each side between the axle nut and outside fork is important. Equally important is ensuring that the wheel is centered between the forks. Test it by hitting the side of the wheel with one hand, if it does not slip to either side, you are successful. Only with the right bicycle tools can accomplish such important task.
