Disassemble sprocket carrier?
I just started playing around with vintage 7 speed cassettes and created my own gear ratios but cassette carriers nowadays don't have screw, they're more like rivets to me. How do you open those new cassettes? This guys over here seems to succeed but he doesn't say how. Any ideas?

On my 9s cassettes, I punched out the rivets using a nail with the back side of the sprocket carrier resting on wood blocks. When the rivet protruded enough (and the nail couldn't go any deeper), I pulled out the rivet with a pair of pliers.
The sprockets on the carriers on those 9s cassettes had plastic spacers between them.

Same way you remove any rivet. Drill it out. Customising a Shimano HG50 Tiagra/Deore cassette
