Awww man! I have to take off the fronts too!?!? I had a stinking
suspicion that this might be the case. >sigh< I had hoped that it was
just the rear fixtures that got swapped.
Yesterday evening, I took a 4" grinder to the rears and pried the
brackets off the frame. I was able to easily poke / pound out the
remains of most rivets. I'll work on the fronts tonight.
I really appreciate the info.
