it depends, my rivet holes had warped and became larger so i had to get a bigger size. There pretty cheap just buy a couple different sizes.

I used aluminium rivets and they just broke. So I used steel ones and it was a little better. So as a last straw I put in two small sheet metal screws, along with the rivets, and haven't had a problem since.

If you are just repacking I don't think you have to replace any rivets. My E Series has screws at the tip and the packing goes in there. I do have rivets at pipe end that are coming lose now and need to be replaced with a larger size rivet.
