Are rocker panels difficult to remove? Should the seller do it?

I'm thinking when I start looking more seriously, I'll have to recruit someone locally that is a little more familiar to help me.

East to remove them "sort of." There's a series of rivets along the top side, and three screws on the bottom. Getting the lower screws out can be difficult, since they tend to freeze into place. Some liquid wrench, vice grips, and cursing can help.

Problem is will the owner let you do this? ok it theres no rivets and just screws.
