I'm trying to install a rear seat in my DJ3A, but the bracket holes for on the tub are pretty solidly attached. Any advice on how to remove these?

A drill and a die grinder?

Drill was the next step, but wanted to make sure there wasn't an easier way!

I recently did the same thing on my CJ2A. As Scratch said, use a drill and die grinder. If you have an after-market seat, be prepared to heat up the rear legs and bend them to fit. Mine was about an inch shy of going in the slot in the back after the front legs slid in the pocket.

I managed, imperfectly, to get one out using a drill and a dremel with a metal cutting wheel on it.
