This is a good point. Worth checking into before proceeding.

Also, if you succeed in removing the nuts, you will be left with the studs sticking up from the floor, waiting to be stepped on or tripped over. Thus, you will decide to cut them flush to the floor. If you decide to re-install later, you are drilling and installing anchors. Just food for thought.
