New Bath - wooden blocks

[dunc21]

Just bought a new bath to instal myself. It is a fibre glass one.

In each corner underneath is a wooden block - I suppose used to keep a stack of them seperated from each other.

However they are in the way of where I want to place the wall securing brackets. Can I and are they easy to remove? Can I just knock them sideways with a tap from a hammer? Will this damage thr bath? - I don't want to tear a big hole in the top..

Should lever off with a screwdriver as they are not usually attached very firmly.
Be gentle though .

tried screwdriver but were pretty embedded. Dug a little groove all round with the screwdriver then gave them a thump sideways with my palm. Snapped off quite cleanly along the grain. Thanks.
