ScottinMA-- Damn, you mis-read my advice and selected the wrong method!!! Option-B is the "preferred method" and the rear seat brackets should remain in-place and not be removed. The PITA difficulties you encountered with the bracket removal only helps solidify my point.

Only the horizontal "pivoting retaining pins" should be removed as described in Option-B, and then re-inserted to prevent possible loss of the "pins". The brackets (now empty) then become forward mounted Tie-Down Anchor Points for interior cargo (to complement the other OEM anchor points within the VX cargo area).
