They are spot welded to the firewall/toeboard (actually the firewall/toeboard is spot welded to the crossmember). However, the floor is also spot welded to the firewall/toeboard just behind it, so you will likely have to drill those out to. I just replaced my firewall/toeboard with a new one from Dynacorn (excellent fit), but since I still had great front mounting pads and crossmember, just cut the new one out around them and flush welded - now much stronger than original. Cheers, Jim
