You have to cut them off, then remove the seat cover and foam to put new brackets in then reinstall the cover and foam.

Had to wrestle that one myself..all but one nut came off and that one just spun.

I sprayed the thread with lots of WD, wedged a flat screw driver between the plate and plastic and used my impact on the nut hoping the rpms would spin the nut off before the bolt spun.

Got luck I guess, it worked.
