Hand chisel struck by a 22 oz hammer to remove the head (two swings usually to get it off), round punch with same hammer to knock it out, and a bunch of sweat lol! I went with drilling because I didn't want to drop the coin on a beastly quality air chisel every one says you need to not be there all day.

Bumper brackets have to come off to the the rear-most rivets out....I just sanded them flush to the frame after the shackle mount was off.
