Abstract

The present invention relates to a lockbolt and a method for installing a lockbolt that removes a coating, such as a sealant that has inadvertently flowed into a hole into which the lockbolt is to be installed. The lockbolt and method prevent a coupling surface of the lockbolt from being contaminated by the coating.
