These tiny bolts appear to be brass, most are not unscrewing off the nut, and it appears that the entire bolt and nut are turning when I try to remove them. I sprayed some WD40 on them before I started. I cannot begin my seat cover replacement until the stainless piece is removed. Anybody come up with a trick to get these off?
I can only imagine the challenge to reinstall this part! Thanks.

Re: Removing small bolts from stainless seat trim
I use a carbide disc on my air tool and grind the nut away.
I then use new screws washers and nuts. ...........lm

BTW, the cover from SCI was a perfect fit and the seat came out great!
