The small one, no, leave that alone.

The big one yes, there mega tight, you need a good socket bar to turn it. Then the once its out the chair just slides forward and unhooks.

done this a few times, yeah both bolts out

had to grind one of the heads off once, and yeah its a good idea to change them for better bolts.

think the sub frames are set up slightly different on pre 97 and post 97, i had to adjust them when i put sri seats into a 99
