You drill the rivets out and bolt the clamshell around the poly mount.

you also have to wire brush all the leftover rubber crap after splitting the shells.....I used a good quality water proof grease in the shell and on the poly to ensure there was no squeaking from the poly moving in the shell

the bolts to hold the shells together are included in the prothane kit....the bolts only hold the shells together until the mounts are bolted to the block
