Yes, the sheet metal bracket unbolts. IIRC it uses four bolts with 13mm heads, and two with 14mm heads.
The rusted nuts are also 13mm, or maybe 12mm(?). The easiest way for us shade tree mechanics to remove these is with some nut-twister sockets. Most hardware stores will sell these made by Irwin, although the deep socket style sold only by S-K tools are easier yet (no need to shorten a sud to get the socket on the nut). Irwin sells their Base Kit and an Expansion Pack which fits in the same case. Together they cover most sizes at an affordable cost for the D-I-Y'er.
