The ones with the screw in the middle? If so, you use a screwdriver to unscrew the plastic screw in the middle, without applying any downpressure, and then pull the screw out followed by the rivet.

Thanks bro..I wish I had those which sound much easier lol but yea I actually found out how, wasn't much of a hassle either. Just used a flat head screw driver and gently pryed upwards on the head of the rivet and came right out.
