Default 96 XJ front seat slider removal

So my front seats were shot, I picked up a seat of mint seats but they were designed for the flat floor, I have the seat brackets that will fit but how do I remove the stock ones. There appear to be studs that hold them on but I can't remove them. Please help.

On my 99 there are 3 bolts and one stud(with nut) that holds them to the body, there are four studs/nuts that hold the slide rails to the bottom of the jeep. IDK what kind of seats you have but they likely need modification to fit. I do know that seats out of WJs and ZJs will swap right in. I just swapped WJ seats in mine.

Look for the nut between bottom of seat cushion and rails.

Those look like a type of rivet, if so would have to be drilled or punched out.
