    or you could get a drill and drill the rod tops off.

    If it's a Shimano cassette and the "rods" go all the way through, you should find that they are actually a very long thin allen screw (for example Deore or 105) and it takes a small allen key (even though it looks like a rivet at first glance).

    thought they had stopped fitting the bolts to the shimano cassettes. last one i saw was a few years back. the rest have been rivited.
