sawzall or hacksaw. Cut off the rivnuts, or just slice or tear the rubber off at the top.

then sawzall or hack the rivnuts and you'll be able to slide out the rubber intact. Re-mount them on the other vehicle with small nylock nuts & bolts. You'll also want to replace one rear rivnut on each side with a nut & bolt (outrigger support for rear fender).

I drilled out the nuts. I broke the bit toward the end and used a dremel to hack it off.

If I ever decide to put them flaps back on I'll just use wing nuts.

I always thought you were supposed to scrape them off on a rock or a similar obstacle
