Awe, you should frequent here more often.
You heard them right. There are no easy way to remove the rear bracket without cutting the bolts off that I'm aware of. There are threads on here about going railless. From I gathered from those thread, they simply cut off the bolts and buy the cover plates for the mounting holes. The front mounting bracket can be easily taken out by pulling down the headliner enough to get to the nuts. The rear bracket is a pain and much more involved so others just cut them off.
